There was another war in Vietnam, one that generally didn't make
the headlines: the campaign to "win the hearts and minds" of the
Vietnamese people. Fought not with artillery and helicopters but
with food, medicine and shelter for civilians devastated by the
conflict, the effort was unprecedented in U.S. history, involving
both military and civilian personnel working together in far-flung
areas of the countryside. Part history, part memoir, this book
chronicles an overlooked aspect of U.S. involvement in Vietnam,
with a focus on the war victims and refugees most tragically
affected by the carnage. The author recounts his two years
"in-country" as an aid worker and describes how the humanitarian
effort was conducted and why it failed.
