  • The Quiet American

    Excellent book edition. Contains valuable information, reference and insight about the story. The story is about Vietnam. I'm a Vietnam veteran - US Army. Greene wrote this story in the 1950's, and predicted the entanglement accurately. Too bad that his warning was ignored.
