Publisher Description:

. . . the ultimate insider's account of the war from the South Vietnamese side, including the appalling story of how the American intervention actually happened. --Washington Post

This book gives Americans a rare opportunity--the chance to see the Vietnam experience through Vietnamese eyes. Few Vietnamese know their recent history as well as Bui Diem does. And none has told it better. --Ambassador William Jorden

. . . well-written and at times illuminating . . . --Library Journal
