Some books on Vietnam I liked.
The first three of these books I read when I arrived in South Vietnam.The second three were after the war.
Novel without a name was the most moving, but one needed the background of the others.
The Smaller Dragon by Joseph Buttinger
Village in Vietnam by Gerald Cannon Hickey
Vietnam by Do Van Minh
Vo Nguyen Giap by Cecil B Currey
A nos vingt ans by Nguyen Huy Thiep
Novel without a name by Duong Thu Huong

I can remember my Junior and Senior years of high school, when 95% of the boys graduating went immediately to Vietnam. What a troubling time that was. Posted June 28, 2007 |
