Vietnam
Mary McCarthy
<b>Hailed as “the most provocative and disturbing analytical indictment . . . of America’s role in Vietnam” by the&nbsp;<i>New York Times</i>, this is Mary McCarthy’s riveting account of her journeys to Saigon and Hanoi &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</b><br>In 1967, the editor of the<i>&nbsp;New York Review of Books&nbsp;</i>sent Mary McCarthy to Vietnam. In this daring and incisive account<i>,&nbsp;</i>McCarthy brings her critical thinking and novelist’s eye to one of the most unpopular wars in our nation’s history.<br>Outraged
 over America’s role in the Vietnam War, McCarthy arrived in Saigon with
 her own preconceived notions. Her time there did little to alter those 
beliefs. Focusing on the moral consequences—“the worst thing that could 
happen to our country would be to win this war”—McCarthy provides 
firsthand reports from the front line. She describes visits to villages 
built for Vietnamese refugees torn between the terror that Americans 
would stay and the fear that they would go.<br>From its coverage of the 
daily horrors of war to notes on the logistical challenge of bringing 
494,000 soldiers home, this is a timely and timeless work from one of 
America’s most outspoken and respected critics.</br></br></br>
