Produktbeschreibung

Part history, part memoir, this book chronicles an overlooked aspect of US involvement in Vietnam, with a focus on the war victims and refugees most tragically affected by the carnage. The author recounts his two years â in-countryâ as an aid worker and describes how the humanitarian effort was conducted and why it failed.
