This work, based on Frances FitzGeralds own research and travels in Southeast Asia in the era of the Vietnam War, takes us inside Vietnam - into the traditional, ancestor-worshiping villages and the corrupt, crowded cities, into the conflicts between Communists and anti-Communists, Catholics and Buddhists, generals and monks - and reveals the country as if through Vietnamese eyes. Fire in the Lake shows how America utterly and tragically misinterpreted the realities of Vietnam.

My take.
This book would be better reviewed by a scholar of Southeast Asian culture and history who can compare and contrast it to other books on this subject. I think this book gives a good background history of Vietnam and brings Vietnams experience to the time the book was written. It helped me understand the Vietnamese people better. Their ancestral connection to its earth. And their intense ownership. Reading this book made me realize that the US Government was extremely naïve and confused about going to war there. My heart goes out to it's people and to the US Military and allies and their families who suffered because of governmental ignorance. I read this book a long time ago and that paperback copy was old and yellowed and dropping pages. So to read it again I bought this hardback copy for my permanent book collection. I am a Vietnam veteran. I was with the now decommissioned Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 10 as a builder in the part of northern south Vietnam militarily known as I-Corp.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
