Written by an author who has the eyes of a painter, Anthony is himself a veteran of that war. His book reveals him to be a compassionate and sensitive story teller. Beneath Buddha's Eyes is a moving and exciting tale of love and survival, a human portrait of that tragic war that goes far beneath the politics, pretensions and military strategy of the conflict. It plumbs the longing for love and closure in the human heart." Author of My War, Random House 2000 Linda U. Howard: "Beneath Buddha's Eyes was absolutely mesmerizing. It stayed with me long after I put it down. A haunting love story set in a violent and evil backdrop. Anthony's writing captured Vietnam so vividly there were times when I felt I had to take cover." Author of Expecting Miracles, Putnam 1980 John Weber: "In my experience as a publisher, I have only seen a few first novels that I felt deserved to be read not only because they had the ability to grip readers from beginning to end, but also because the story itself was capable of illuminating the human condition. Beneath Buddha¹s Eyes by Tony Anthony is certainly one of them." Publisher, Welcome Rain, New York Jane Parker Resnick: "In Beneath Buddha's Eyes, Tony Anthony takes big themes, universal themes, and makes them human and particular, which is what a novel is supposed to do. In the absurd, terrifying 24-hour days of soldiers, he finds the fear, brutality, frailty, passion, bravery, and unexpected valor that make us human. His characters are so real, their conflicts so crucial, that their lives illuminate ours. This book should be read by men for its honesty about war, by women for its truth about love."
