by Joanna C. Scott
This poignant collection of oral histories tells the stories of nine Laotians, four Cambodians and nine Vietnamese: what their lives were like
before 1975, what happened after the Communist takeover that made them decide to flee their native countries, and how they
escaped. The storytellers (housewife, Amerasian child, schoolteacher, government clerk, military officer, security agent, Buddhist monk, artist) create
a broad and moving picture of the new realities of contemporary Indochina.
by Ronald Steinman
"Steinman went to Saigon as NBC news bureau chief in April 1966 before the significance of the Vietnam War was clearly evident. It was the first war
to be reported by television at a time when there was less government -- and network -- interference in war reporting. It was also a time before technology
enabled the fast and constant relay of images and news from around the world. Steinman recalls the struggles he and his staff of young, multinational
correspondents faced: learning how to report a war from the front lines, how to get past the canned news offered by the government, and how to get
undeveloped film shipped out of Saigon. He recalls the hardships of living in a war-torn nation and the friendships that helped advance news gathering
and personal survival. Steinman also recalls his courtship of a young Vietnamese coworker whom he later married. This is an intense look behind the scenes at
how television reported on the growing conflict in Vietnam and how those images influenced American public opinion of the war." --Booklist
