Description
A true story and unexpected insight into the zeitgeist of South Vietnam, only months prior to full-scale warfare, by an improbably yet keen observer living-traveling-working there at the time.
"The Curious American" reveals the disturbing and deliberate hype in reporting by American press and diplomats; as each group routinely magnified and mystified the goings-on about the country. For, had either of these parties ever ventured into the boondocks and actually covered the important happenings (sackings of monasteries, strategic hamlet projects, U.S. Advisory Programs, the ubiquitous antics of the VC), the people who were following their reports might never had concluded the circumstances in South Vietnam warranted the treatment they were about to administer to it.
