'Coming To Terms: American Plays & The Vietnam War presents a compelling examination of how the American stage grappled with the profound impact of the Vietnam conflict. This insightful work chronicles the evolution of dramatic responses, illustrating how playwrights translated the era's complex political and social turmoil into powerful theatrical narratives. Reston, Jr. uncovers the diverse perspectives and emotional landscapes reflected in these productions, from searing anti-war protests to more nuanced explorations of veteran experiences and national identity. The analysis details the ways in which theater served as both a mirror and a catalyst for public discourse, shaping collective memory and understanding of a pivotal moment in American history. It argues for the enduring relevance of these dramatic interpretations in comprehending the cultural aftermath and ongoing legacy of the war.'
