About This Item
Greenwich, CT: Fawcett Giant Crest, 1960. Mass Market Paperback. Good. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. spine creasing, edge wear, binding a bit brittle. A piercing exposé of American incompetence and corruption in Southeast Asia, The Ugly American captivated the nation when it was first published in 1958. The book introduces readers to an unlikely hero in the titular âugly Americanââand to the ignorant politicians and arrogant ambassadors who ignore his empathetic and commonsense advice. In linked stories and vignettes set in the fictional nation of Sarkhan, William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdick draw an incisive portrait of American foreign policy gone dangerously wrongâand how it might be fixed.
