Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Now back in print after more than 30 years is this brilliant, disturbing evocation of Vietnam and of the war, written at the height of American involvement. Includes a new Afterword by the author. Book News Annotation:First published in 1968, the book is the product of Just's 18 months
(December, 1965 - May, 1967) as Washington Post correspondent
during the Vietnam War. "The pessimists," Just writes in this more
or less characteristic tone, "of course, contended that ... most
Vietnamese were not, as the Marines insisted, neutral. They were
unfriendly. Force of arms sometimes kept them neutral in deed, rarely
in thought. This could never be admitted, despite the evidence, for
to admit it would be to say that the Marines were an occupation
force." In the new foreword, Just reflects on Vietnam, on himself as
a young man, and the development of his ideas since he wrote the
book. Just has written 12 novels, including the National Book Award
finalist Echo House. No index.
