When a reporter for The Washington Post sees a group of wounded, half-starved, black troops
disembark from a helicopter in Cu Chi during the height of the Vietnam War, he senses a
story, but receives no cooperation from the army or the soldiers. The men, mostly noncombat
soldiers, are the remnant of a squad sent on an illegal mission to Cambodia as punishment for
their participation in a race riot at Cu Chi base camp. Led by a battle-fatigued sergeant, they
fall under enemy fire. Their leader inexplicably disappears, leaving the ill-prepared soldiers
to fight the jungle and enemy on their own. Although forced to confront the shock of combat
and a deteriorating family life, the reporter pursues the story hoping to uncover the truth
about what happened to those soldiers in the jungle.
An intriguing glimpse into the Vietnam War, A Long Way Back is a tense journey merging
the lives of the soldiers and the reporter as they struggle to overcome their fear and face
the battles they must fight to survive. J. Everett Prewitt is a Vietnam veteran and a former
Army officer. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania,
and a Master of Science degree in urban studies from Cleveland State University. Prewitt
was awarded the title of distinguished alumni at both schools. Prewitt s debut novel, Snake
Walkers, placed first for fiction in four different literary contests, won the bronze award for
general fiction in the ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year contest, and was also honored by
the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. Single and living in Shaker Heights,
Ohio, Prewitt is the proud father of Lia and Eric.

As a classical empirical research study, the author investigated whether foreign investment
into the U.S are hindered by SOX act, high compliance cost or high stock listing cost
in NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges. Barriers to Global Stock Listing Among African
Companies: Is It Cost or Compliance?, which is a practical and excellent resource for
graduate academic research in business, showing how research methodology design and
variables are operationalized, will benefit African firms and global investors listing shares
overseas, including in U.S using Depositary Receipts (DRs). The increasing demand
for Depositary Receipts is driven by the desire of individual and institutional investors
to diversify their portfolios, reduce risk and invest internationally. While most investors
recognize the benefits of global diversification, they also understand the challenges presented
when investing directly in local trading markets. These obstacles can include inefficient trade
settlements, uncertain custody services and costly currency conversions.
