Vietnam Now: A Reporter Returns

Vietnam Now: A Reporter Returns

Thirty years after he reported on the war as a young combat
correspondent, David Lamb returns to Vietnam on a four-year assignment
for the Los Angeles Times to cover the peace. From his base in Hanoi,
he crisscrosses the country to interview infamous wartime figures as
well as scores of ordinary Vietnamese. He reveals a remarkable country
and a resolute people. His book is a personal journey that will change
the way we think about Vietnam, and perhaps the war as well.

“[A humane and often moving account…Conscientious in his reporting,
Lamb enriches his narrative with facts that catch the promise and
difficulty of life in Vietnam today.”- Time

“The eloquently told stories of the vets (both Vietnamese and
American), expats and widows [Lamb meets…have an emotional
resonance…An eye-opening look at the other side.” -People

“Puts the American role in Vietnam into a much need perspective…Lamb’s
engaging book is, in equal parts, a travelogue, a political, cultural
and economic analysis and a collection of poignant profiles of average
Vietnamese citizens.”-New York Times *...
