Title: Insightful
Review: I have read and reread this book many times and still find it one of the most interesting and balanced books on postwar Vietnam. The author, born in England, spent three years in Vietnam as a correspondent for France press.He characterized general Giap as "ferociously driven, vain, indifferent to battle losses and to the suffering of his people". He talked about "the poisoned and scorch earth left by American bombings", the sepulchral world of the Communist Party of Vietnam with "its wild menagerie of fiefdioms, provincial power bases..." and about greed, graft, and nepotism in Hanoi. He also mentioned about "the melancholy tribe" of the overseas Vietnamese and noticed Hanoi was "never magnanimous in victory and tried to erase the very existence of South Vietnam."When the communist Party claimed to represent the people he talked about "an absurd act of ventriloquism" and noted that communist Vietnam was slowly drifting into senescence.Highly recommended.
