The re-publication of this poignant memoir brings new material and pictures that further chronicle Jedwin Smith's journey into his deepest, darkest night of the soul. As he and his family struggle through the anguish of his brother Jeff's death in Vietnam at the height of the war, their strength, faith and value are stretched to the threshold of collapse. Smith's core of humanity is fully tested, and when he emerges from his dark night he does so with a renewed sense of empathy and hope. See how one man's journey captures every man's journey in this powerful look back at the ravages of war.

Jedwin's second book, Fatal Treasure — the untold story of legendary treasure hunter Mel Fisher and his decades-long search for the Atocha, the richest of all Spanish treasure galleons — has been optioned Hollywood and is presently under consideration to become a major motion picture.

While covering Evander Holyfield's successful quest to become the heavyweight champion of the world, Jedwin befriended Mills Lane — the celebrated boxing referee, circuit court judge, and TV personality — which resulted in his writing of Lane's biography, Let's Get It On.
