When in New York after September 11, he recalls his earlier visits to Asian battlefields (?the skeletal frame of the Trade Center evokes the dome at Hiroshima?).Stevenson, Matthew Mills is the author of 'Mentioned in Dispatches - Matthew Mills Stevenson - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780970913333 and ISBN 0970913338.
