Title: Not Another pat on Hanoi's back from a guilty American!
Product review: If I am forced by my college professor to read another book by a journalist who went back and saw how great life is in Vietnam because America (and the South Vietnamese people) lost to Hanoi, I'm going to puke.If you want read a book by a person who actually lived there for three years after the Communist took over, and doesn't replay every played out how great it was that North Vietnam was "united" with South Vietnam, then read Shadows and Wind.If you want to get a real understanding of Vietnam and the Vietnamese people (this is a Vietnamese writing), then read The Bamboo Chest: An Adventure in Healing the Trauma of War. I think you'll find it very refreshing: unlike Mr. Graham who almost didn't survive the experience, I don't recall Mr. Lamb ever having spent eleven months in a Hanoi-run re-education camp to get the truth about Vietnam!
