The Viet Nam War ended almost half a century ago. This book-part
history, part travelogue-reveals the war's legacy, still very much
alive, in the places where it was fought and in the memories and
memorials of those who survived it. The chronological story of the
war is told through exploration of culture, history, popular music,
and the countries who were major players: North and South Viet Nam,
Laos, Cambodia, Australia and the United States. The author
traverses significant sites like Dien Bien Phu-where French
colonialism ended and U.S. intervention began-the DMZ, Hamburger
Hill, the Rock Pile, the Cu Chi Tunnels, and Australia's most
famous battlefield, Long Tan. Residual hazards of the war remain in
the form of unexploded ordnance (UXO) in such places as Siem Reap,
Luang Prabang, and in Quang Tri Province, where nonprofit groups
like Project RENEW work to manage removal and provide victim
assistance.
