Richard Taylor

Richard Taylor draws on years of military experience as a resource for his historical work, creative non-fiction, and historically-based fiction.

"Homeward Bound" draws on the homecoming experiences described in "Prodigals" when a young officer returns from his first combat experiences as a Vietnam adviser with an ARVN battalion operating in the Vietnam Delta. Then when his life is changed as the war has also changed he returns again from a seemingly different war.

In "Homeward Bound" similar experiences are traced for veterans of the American Revolution, the Civil War for both northern and southern veterans, World Wars I and II, Korea - the forgotten war, and Vietnam - the unforgotten war, and for veterans of the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Some works of historical biography are currently underway. Check back for an update on progress and titles are they are ready for publication.
