- Summary:
- This unique account of Vietnam offers a rare insight into the experience of the war from the "other side"--from its people--as opposed to the universally known American perspective on the conflict. The authors provide an account of dedication and heroism at all levels--but also of brutality and social control--and of the traumatization of a people in the grip of revolution and a terrifying war.
