About This Item
Random House, 1986. First Edition, Ex-Library. Hardcover. Very Good. GREAT BOOK! FIRST EDITION. MILD WEAR ON DUSTJACKET, LIGHTLY AGED PAGES, LIBRARY STAMPS BUT NO MARKING IN TEXT. "Description: Through three Asian wars within 30 years, Americans have lacked an understanding of the enemy. The recent flood of books on the Vietnam War has focused on the American side. In this important work the authors present totally absorbing vignettes of some 36 North Vietnamese, Vietcong, and Third Force adversaries through their own words. At the level of the individual rather than the regime, the enemy was not a faceless fanatic, but a human being with fears, doubts, and concerns that mingled with courage, faith, and dedication. In a sensitive afterword Chanoff speaks of the "ordinary heroism" of the Vietnamese. Highly recommended for use in college courses and for the informed public. Steven I. Levine, Sch. of International Service, American Univ., Washington, D.C. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc."
