The Wrong Battlefield
Theodies Mitchell Jr.
“The Wrong Battlefield” is a collection of poetry that describes my perspective as I pursued a military career that started during the civil rights era. Vietnam was my first assignment and was quite complicated for me. Initially I was trying to justify why I was there when I wrote the poem; “Am I my Brother’s Keeper?” But I was a changed man when I wrote; “To the World” and Forgotten”. The picture on the cover symbolizes the two sides of the struggle within me as I faced challenges from two battlefields, my military commitment and my responsibility to my people and me. The locations listed in the book don’t represent all of the places I’ve been but I included them because they are the areas where I was faced with challenges that had a major impact on my life.
