Review Quotes

"A richly textured picture of life in the tortured, battle-torn nation as the war builds up to the Tet offensive of 1968. In addition to examining the pervasive effects of the French/Indo-Chinese culture on Vietnam, Simpson offers a vivid description of unconventional warfare; this isn't a pleasant read, but it is an authoritative, and cautionary, one."

"Captures the 'how it wasness' of the war and life in Saigon."

"Set in a place and time that Simpson evokes with skill and obvious knowledge."
