Summary
This book is based on the authors own experiences and travels in Southeast Asia in the era of the Vietnam War. It takes us inside Vietnam, into the traditional, ancestor- worshiping villages and the corrupt, crowded cities. The author narrates the conflicts between Communists and Anti-Communists, Catholics and Buddhists, generals and monks - and reveals the War and the country as if through Vietnamese eyes. Fir in the Lake shows how America utterly and tragically misinterpreted the realities of Vietnam.
Notes - No dust jacket and a slight bleaching on spine.
