I have this paperback in my collection on Vietnam. I thought it a little errorneous over time, as Vietnam has healed up surprisingly well after all the B-52 strikes cratering the countryside. As a helicopter pilot with the Outlaws in the Mekong Delta in 1966-67, I too wondered how long our artillery and airstrikes' destruction would affect this small tropical country, so dependent on its rice crop. However, the real value of this book is about looking deeper at the ethnic conflicts between various groups--that was the root of the problem--far more than we know, and the author produced some information not found somewhere else. I deeply appreciate the book, and it is a keeper.
