Recognized as the author's finest work, Into A Black Sun blurs the line between literature and journalism, drawing on his experiences as a war correspondent in Vietnam to present an immersive depiction of the war. This is not a combat novel, but rather an Asian perspective on one of the wars that shaped modern America. He tells his stories of the men and women of the land, of the conflicted turmoil of their beliefs and lives and deaths, through prose brought to life through the five senses, realizing the jungles, brothels, and camps of the Vietnam War, with the diverse people entrapped by it. And in the telling, he reveals the enormous contradictions that the war revealed in friend and foe alike. Long out of print, this edition brings Kaiko's immersive journey into the depths of the Vietnam War to a generation that is already forgetting the lessons learned there.

Autorenporträt
Takeshi Kaiko (1930 - 1989) was a popular Japanese author of late 20th century, active in novels, short stories, essays, criticism, and even television scripting. Kaik¿ was a teenager when World War II ended and his nation left in ruin, but matured as a writer while Japan grew into its post-War economic boom. His first published work, "Nameless City" (1953), was ignored by the media, but in 1957 he won the Akutagawa Prize with "The Naked King," examining the pressures on school children in Japan. As a war correspondent in Vietnam with the Asahi Shimbun he was imprisoned by the Viet Cong.
