war and its effects

I stumbled across this book in my public library years ago. I have been searching for my own copy ever since. It is great reading of another perspective on the Vietnam War and also Mexican politics (I can attest to her accuracy on Mexico, I lived there). I have admired all of her books, but this was the first I read. I wish there had been women like her around when I was growing up!

An emotional & brilliant depiction of Vietnam era and people

This is Oriana Fallaci's personal view of Vietnam War and its people based on her very own personal experience as a journalist. Her views on the subject of American invasion of Vietnam are sometimes harsh although accurate. This book was ordered to be removed from all bookstores in Iran during Nixon's visit to Iran in the early 70's. It is Ironic that even today it cannot be found in any libray or bookstore in the most liberal parts of the U.S.A.

A book that changed my life

I found absolutely fascinating to read this new perspective on the Vietnam War and on the role that the USA play's on the history of the world. Even though I think it has some strong criticism it is backed up with experience.

But aside from this political side of the book I found unbelivably beautifull the fact that a person can be willing to go to the very core of madness and brutality (which is how I consider war), to face death, may be even her own, looking for the meaning and purpose of LIFE. This book thought me a lot about human nature, hope, love, and the immense responsability that comes with being alive. Thanks Oriana...

REFRESHING!! This book made me hate the whole concept of WAR

I am actually an iranian girl, and when i was 10 years old, i found this book in our personal library. Soon after i started reading it, I fell in love with the book and it's author. the book was written in farsi, therefore it took me years to actually find the translated version of it! This book tells the story of a heroic italian journalist who went to the Viet War, and wrote the truth about what she saw going on around her. It is really refreshing to read a book about the Viet War from an non-participating party! i highly recomend this book to all who like to know both sides of the story, and what really goes on in WAR. This book makes you hate the whole concept of WAR!!!!
