Bob Brigham always knew he was adopted, but growing up, he didn’t know anything about his biological parents. When he was seven years old, a social worker came for a visit and Bob heard her whisper something to his mother – something about the Vietnam War. “Within a nanosecond, I created a story in my head.”

Bob Brigham's book is This Is a True War Story. My Improbable History with Vietnam.
