Review of Johnny Comes Home

What a marvelous piece of radio. Its confessional quality is perfect for this medium. The music is used very effectively to amplify emotion. The hanging questions and contradictions provide so much to think about. This glimpse into a soldier's private horror is hopefully the kind of story that might help bring this conflict to a swifter end. Very good work.
