Vong Dai Xanh - Ngo the Vinh - Bog

In this insightful, award-winning novel, Ngo The Vinh brings into sharp relief the wartime atmosphere and conflicts of Vietnam in the mid-1960s. Using the plight of the Thuong Central Highlanders as a springboard, Vinh has in many ways provided an unintentionally prophetic parable for the present U.S. struggles with an unfamiliar culture. Written in the turbulent surroundings of the Vietnam war, Vong Dai Xanh (The Green Belt) was originally published in 1970, released to wide acclaim and subsequently won Vietnam's National Literature Award.
