A look at Vietnam from the sixties

This book is a concise history of Vietnam and its relation to the US. There is a lot of geography and maps. The different Montagnard tribes are explained from their origin to their customs. The book also contains descriptions of other religions and cultural information from French colonialism. Included are theater, painting, architecture, sculpture, music, and literature. Some legends are retold. Even though Ann Crawford is also a freelance photographer, there are no photographs in the book, just a few crude sketches. The author Ann Crawford spent two years in Vietnam with her army officer husband. I had an opportunity to spend 14 months there, a couple of years after the book, and got to learn some of this information firsthand. It would have been nice to have read the book first.
