Books by G Lowell Tollefson

The second in G. Lowell Tollefson's Portrait of America series, God Save The Queen contains stories set in locations across America as well as overseas. This collection paints a portrait of America in the second half of the Twentieth century. Its stories explore desire, both physical and emotional, at every stage in life and in a variety of situations. Each is an exploration of the human psyche and our interactions with one another, nature, and the events in our lives.

Why do nations go to war? Is war ever just? What attitudes and actions are reasonable to expect from our warriors? This book uses a combination of stories and essays to discuss these questions and to expand our understanding of the moral dilemmas inherent on both the personal and national levels in the act of war. It is based on G. Lowell Tollefson's experiences as a U.S. Marine in Vietnam and his philosophical reflections since then.
