Vietnam is an ancient and beautiful land, with a deep history of
occupational conflict that remains an enigma in Americans'
collective memory. It is still easy to forget that Vietnam is a
country and not a war, even as America's role in Vietnam inflamed
and divided the American citizenry in ways that are still evident
today. It is as if Vietnam's civil war resurrected our own. And if
you are a Vietnam War veteran or a family member of a vet, it's
worse, because, even after a half-century, many of the wounds won't
heal. What do you do when you have given up on forgetting? Chuck
Forsman is one of a sizable number of aging Vietnam vets who have
found deep satisfaction in revisiting Vietnam, supporting
charities, orphanages, and clinics, doing volunteer work and
more-anything to redeem what the U.S. military did there. He is
also a renowned painter and photographer who depicts places and
environments in ways that become unforgettable visual experiences
for the contemporary viewer. Lost in Vietnam chronicles a journey,
not a country. They were taken on visits averaging two months each
and two-year intervals over a decade. Forsman traveled largely by
motorbike throughout the country-south, central, and north-sharing
his experiences through amazing photographs of Vietnam's lands and
people. His visual journey of one such veteran's twofold quest: the
one for redemption and understanding, and the other to make art.
The renowned Le Ly Hayslip introduces the book and sets the table
for Forsman's incredible sojourn.
