About the Author
PROFILE: A successful Communications Consultant, journalist, novelist and biographer with expertise and proven skills in various print styles ranging from news and feature writing (AP, Newsweek and Life magazines) to ghostwriting, media relations, marketing, opinion articles, and copy writing for companies and nonprofit organizations. Mr. Stokes is a journalist, novelist, playwright, poet and memoirist, who covered the Vietnam War, (1966-1968), and the Chicago 7 trial of radicals charged with riots at the 1968 Democratic convention for Newsweek Magazine, as well as the Attica Prison Riot for Life Magazine. Mr. Stokes is the author of "Walking Wounded," a novel of the Vietnam War published by Dell. He also wrote the stage drama "A Place Called Heartbreak" that appeared off-Broadway in the l980s about American prisoners of war in Hanoi and their struggle with allegiance to duty, honor, country in an unpopular war. He is a co-author of the memoir, "Odyssey of an Eavesdropper: My Life in Electronic Countermeasures and My Battle Against the FBI," with Martin L. Kaiser III, published in 2006 by Carroll & Graf Publishers, New York. Mr. Stokes recently published his first collection of poetry, "Light From a Different Angle." The poetry brings the reader a panoply of startling and poignant visions ranging from war, foreign and domestic - Vietnam, Attica, 9/ll and the déjà vu of Iraq - to the conundrums of love, suicide, death and the dread of aging, dementia and things left unsaid.
