David Rabe's "Vietnam Trilogy," comprising The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummell (1968), Streamers (1976), and Sticks and Bones (1969), exemplifies many of the recurring themes and motifs that came not only to characterize, but virtually to define, the genre of drama that emerged from the Vietnam War. This genre of dramatic literature constantly and consistently reflects the stresses, anxieties and tensions that shattered the social equilibrium of the America of the 1960s, and focusses on the consequences of these stresses for both the individual and his society. The events of the period fractured American society in a manner unknown since the Civil War, and the stresses associated with the Vietnam conflict exacerbated the social, political and intellectual divisiveness which characterized this period of American history
