The Long Reckoning: A Story of War, Peace, and Redemption in Vietnam

George Black

4.9/5 (24307 ratings)

Description:The moving story of a small group of people--including two Vietnam veterans--who forced the U.S. government to take responsibility for the ongoing horrors inflicted on the Vietnamese as a result of unexploded munitions and the toxic defoliant Agent Orange.The American war in Vietnam has left many long-lasting scars that have not yet been sufficiently examined. The worst of them were inflicted in a tiny area bounded by the demilitarized zone between North and South and the Ho Chi Minh Trail in neighboring Laos. That small region saw the most intense aerial bombing campaign in history, the massive use of toxic chemicals, and the heaviest casualties on both sides.In The Long Reckoning, George Black recounts the inspirational story of the small cast of characters--veterans, scientists, and Quaker-inspired pacifists, and their Vietnamese partners--who used their moral authority, scientific and political ingenuity, and sheer persistence to attempt to heal the terrible human damage that was left in the wake of the military engagement in Southeast Asia. Their intersecting story is one of reconciliation and personal redemption, embedded in a vivid portrait of Vietnam today, with all its startling collisions between past and present, in which onetime mortal enemies, in the endless shape-shifting of geopolitics, have been transformed into strategic military allies.The Long Reckoning is being published on the fiftieth anniversary of the day the last American combat soldier left Vietnam.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
