This week we visited with Doug Peacock, a prolific writer who lectures

regularly about wilderness and veterans issues. He served two tours in

Vietnam as a Green Beret medic, trying to preserve life on the edge of

the battlefield. He came home an emotional and spiritual wreck. With the

publication of Edward Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang in 1975,

Peacock became a hero not only to other veterans, but to a nascent

contingent of environmentalists. Peacock was the subject of a feature

film about grizzlies and Vietnam called Peacock’s War. The film

premiered on PBS Nature, and won the grand prizes at the Telluride

Mountain film and the Snowbird film festivals. You can read more about

Peacock at his website, dougpeacock.net
