-Small Press Bookwatch

"In a bold move that expands the traditional devices of a thriller into arenas of speculative works as well as nonfiction events, Kenneth A. Silver creates a historical and fictional inspection that moves from MIA service members in Vietnam to the under-discussed plague epidemics that ravaged North Vietnam throughout the war. The event received little attention because the efforts of those to bring them into the public eye were thwarted and their voices repressed-until now."

-Midwest Book Review

"In a blistering recap of the post-Vietnam War era, Kenneth A. Silver connects multi-faceted family dynamics with societal unrest, military war crimes, government corruption and the inherent injustices of the war draft to weave a masterful tale that lays bare the fate of nations. Songs for the Deaf encapsulates the spirit of an era haunted by a past that reverberates into the future. It is a story of convictions and consequences, masterfully portraying a good man pushed to the limits of his moral boundaries in his relentless pursuit of truth. Silver's attention to detail and vivid storytelling brings the post-Vietnam War era to life in stunning detail."
