Letters from Duc Phong District

Peter Beaman served in the U.S. Army in 1968-71 and in Phuoc Long Province, Viet Nam, during 1970-1, as an intelligence agent operating in a small District in Viet Nam's most unprotected province next to Cambodia. While there he wrote the letters included in "Letters from Duc Phong District", which describe his activities, his beliefs about the war effort, his desire to inform his readers at home, and his physical and emotional experiences in the war zone. He has also published two artist books with collaborators: Deck of Cards, a 52 card novel which can be read in any direction and which is included in many museum collections; and a book of poetry, Blacker Tendencies of Storms.
