Description
This landmark work, based on Frances FitzGerald's own research and travels, takes us inside Vietnam -- into the traditional, ancestor-worshiping villages and the corrupt crowded cities, into the conflicts between Communists and anti-Communists, Catholics and Buddhists, generals and monks -- and reveals the country as seen through Vietnamese eyes. With a clarity and authority unrivaled by any book before it or since, "Fire in the Lake" shows how America utterly and tragically misinterpreted the realities of Vietnam.
