A piercing expose of American incompetence and corruption in
Southeast Asia, The Ugly American captivated the nation when it was
first published in 1958. The book introduces readers to an unlikely
hero in the titular "ugly American"-and to the ignorant politicians
and arrogant ambassadors who ignore his empathetic and commonsense
advice. In linked stories and vignettes set in the fictional nation
of Sarkhan, William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdick draw an incisive
portrait of American foreign policy gone dangerously wrong-and how
it might be fixed. Eerily relevant sixty years after its initial
publication, The Ugly American reminds us that "today, as the
battle for hearts and minds has shifted to the Middle East, we
still can't speak Sarkhanese" (New York Times).
