When he left war-ravaged Vietnam some thirty years ago, journalist
David Lamb averred "I didn't care if I ever saw the wretched
country again." But in 1997, he found himself living in Hanoi, in
charge of the "Los Angeles Times"'s first peacetime bureau and in
the midst of a country on the move, as it progresses toward a
free-market economy and divorces itself from the restrictive,
isolationist policies established at the end of the war. This was a
new country; in "Vietnam, Now," David Lamb brings it--and
us--forward from its dark, distant past.
From the myriad personalities entwined in the dark, distant
history of the war to those focused toward the future, Lamb reveals
a rich and culturally diverse people as they share their memories
of the country's past, and their hopes for a peacetime future. A
portrait of a beautiful country and a remarkable, determined
people, "Vietnam, Now" is a personal journey that will change the
way we think of Vietnam, and perhaps the war as well.
