About the book
Is a compilation of eighteen years of the author's reportage on American involvement in Indochina, telling of those who were there and what they suffered, how most survived and how they overcame adversity. Profiles ground grunts, and those who experienced the war from behind the lines, including doctors who served in Vietnam, pilots who flew for the noted and notorious, mysterious CIA-operated airline Air America, and journalists who covered the war in the jungles alongside the troops who fought the war. Even Wheel of Fortune game show host Pat Sajak, and the gracious and beautiful Vietnamese actress Kieu Chinh (Joy Luck Club, What's Cooking, Hamburger Hill, etc.) have chapters in this book.
