Doug Bradley’s last book, We Gotta Get Out of This Place: The Soundtrack of the Vietnam War (co-authored with former UW-Madison colleague Craig Werner), was named the “best music book of 2015” by Rolling Stone. Now, Bradley returns with the sequel. Who’ll Stop the Rain: Respect, Remembrance, and Reconciliation in Post-Vietnam America is based on memorable experiences from the road promoting We Gotta Get Out of this Place and explores how the era’s music helped create fertile environments for listening, sharing and understanding. Bradley, a distinguished lecturer emeritus at UW-Madison, will celebrate the book’s release with an evening of conversation and relevant music performed by Madison’s favorite musical son, Sean Michael Dargan.

Discussing Doug Bradley, Vietnam veteran and co-author of We Gotta Get Out of This Place, has a new book coming out just in time for the holidays! Who’ll Stop the Rain: Respect, Remembrance, and Reconciliation in Post-Vietnam America will have its national release on Tuesday, December 10 at the Wisconsin Veterans Museum.  Doug and his special guests will share words and Madison’s favorite local musician Sean Michael Dargan will provide tunes. Please join us for a very special evening of songs, conversation, and refreshments.
