Produktbeschreibung
Too often the ordeals of participants on both sides of the Vietnam War have been interpreted by others journalists, historians, even generals. In an invaluable corrective, John Prados, one of our leading interpreters of the Vietnam War, opens a window into the visceral first-hand experiences of those on the ground in Vietnam. His carefully chosen and thoughtfully introduced anthology gathers the voices in narrative and poetry of men and women; Americans and Vietnamese both of the North and South; officers and enlisted men. All the selections feature individuals witnessing specific events or experiences of war, and the realities of being caught up in them. Bridging the chasm between history and memory, together they offer an intense, even blazing, testimonial to the human condition in war.
