Here are sixteen stories of middle-aged Texans, combat veterans of Vietnam, who are not in prison, panhandling, or sleeping under bridges. For the most part, they’ve learned to live with the judgments of their non-serving peers and the war that still goes on in their heads, although one also has murder on his mind.*******
Dick Stanley is a retired daily newspaper staff writer in Austin, Texas. He fought in Vietnam in 1969 as an Army lieutenant and light-infantry senior advisor to a South Vietnamese militia unit in the I Corps tactical zone.

"First-rate collection" "Dick Stanley's 'Leaving the Alamo: Texas Stories After Vietnam'...is a first-rate collection of 16 short stories, all of which center on Vietnam veterans." Marc Leepson, Arts Editor, Vietnam Veterans of America VVA Veteran magazine, January/February 2007
"Leaving the Alamo" An excellent book. Hardly seems like a first effort for the author. A couple of the characters sounded very familiar to this two-tour Vietnam vet. Claude Cooper
