Requests:  0 Summary:  In the spring of 1974, as the last American troops were being pulled out of Vietnam, Ron Kovic and a small group of other severely injured veterans in a California VA hospital launched the American Veterans Movement. In a phenomenal feat of political organizing, Kovic corralled his fellow AVM members into staging a sit-in, and then a hunger strike, in the Los Angeles office of Senator Alan Cranston, demanding better treatment of injured and disabled veterans. This was a short-lived and chaotic but ultimately successful movement to improve the deplorable conditions in VA hospitals across the country. Hurricane Street is their story--one that resonates deeply today--told by Kovic in the passionate and brutally honest style that led to over one million sales of Born on the Fourth of July.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 959.70438 Kovic Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 959.70438 Kovic Ko Checked In Add Copy to MyList
