Title: Sharp, prophetic, deep and a terrific read
Review: Graham Greene lambasts both the old colonialism of the French and the British and the naive paternalism of the Americans.....The narrator is a caustic British cynic observing the crumbling of the French regime with indifference. The eponymous American is an energetic idealist convinced that Indochina is a less civilised Nebraska in need of a dose of American redemption. He sets about changing the world with disastrous effect. This book is an absolute classic. An ascerbic and prophetic analysis of Vietnam, strong engaging characters, a sarcastic wit and a scintillating story to boot.
