Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Thanh , Nguyen Trong - Photographs (illustrator). First Printing. 203 Pages. This book contains over 90 poems and more than 100 photographs taken by Rottmann and his North Vietnamese counterpart, Nguyen Trong Thanh between 1965 and 1993. It is a remarkable record of the author's struggle to come to terms with what Vietnam means. Rottmann's book requires us to redefine what it means to be American. Vietnam forced the author to recognize the otherness of other cultures, and brought him face-to-face with a people who were willing to fight bravely and die for ideals completely foreign to us. Those who fought and returned home from the war came back to discover a complete collapse of their moral identity. What they thought had been heroic battle, they came to realize, had actually been a dark absurdity perpetuated by the rich and powerful. It is a book that embraces the wholeness of what it means to be an American, and it does so not at the expense of the Vietnamese, but in a manner which humanizes them before our eyes in words and photographs. Rottmann's book is different from other books about the war in its inclusion of the enemies' perspective as heard in the voices poems. About the book Le Ly Hayslip wrote that describing the war from both the Vietnamese and American perspectives, this book offers a unique and complete story of this great tragedy. These voices advise us that to understand your enemy is to possibly understand a friend. Don't read this book unless you are prepared for an awakening you may not have anticipated.

This is the second volume in a series of veterans' writings coming out of the Indochina experience. The first was Winning Hearts and Minds and the third book is Postmortem. The editors suggest that the 21 authors of these selections are a collective insight into the price paid by both peoples when one culture attempts to strip another of its dignity and destroy its gods and explores America's attempt to shape an ancient Asian cultdure into an image that reflects our own ophysical and psychological needs. They further suggest that there were three levels of experience: men wh operation out of this realization, those who were aware of their loss of freedom but failed to confront it, and the majority who never understood and that most Americans have also refused to understand the sickness and pushed it back into the nations's psyche, lwhere it grows and engenders new disease.
