THIRTY YEARS after he covered the war as a young combat correspondent, David Lamb
returned to Vietnam to cover the peace. He moved into an apartment in downtown Hanoi, the city he once viewed as the "enemy" capital, and began exploring the new Vietnam, a country emerging from years of political and economic isolation.
For four years Lamb crisscrossed the coun-try, interviewing personalities from Vietnam's dark days--figures such as the legendary general, Vo Nguyen Giap, and the wartime voice of Hanoi's propaganda machine, Hanoi Hannah-and scores of uncelebrated Vietnamese: students, former soldiers, shopkeepers, Communist Party
members, and returning boat people. He roamed from Sapa on the Chinese border to Dien Bien Phu, Khe Sanh, and Can Tho in the depths of the Mekong Delta. He met with young engineers on the Ho Chi Minh trail, once the world's deadliest road. He joined a group of former Viet Cong and American GIs seeking reconciliation at the very fire support base where they had fought deadly battles. He explored the charming back alleyways of Hanoi and tasted the giddy excitement of a booming Saigon.
Vietnam, Now is the result of David Lamb's explorations. He takes us deep inside a nation rich in history, culture, and bittersweet memories of war. Through intimate stories of personal encounters, he explains why Vietnam has man-aged to bury the residue of war, in many ways more effectively than the United States has, and why the Vietnamese now welcome American diplomats, tourists, and businesspeople with a warmth that defies logic. What emerges is a portrait of a remarkable country and a resolute people. Lamb's journey is one that will change the way we think of Vietnam, and perhaps the war as well.
