Fire in the Lake

Fire in the Lake Frances Fitzgerald Additional Author mixed material bibliography Back Bay Books 1972 500 This landmark work, based on Frances FitzGerald's own research and travels in Southeast Asia in the era of the Vietnam War, takes us inside Vietnam -- into the traditional, ancestor-worshiping villages and the corrupt, crowded cities, into the conflicts between Communists and anti-Communists, Catholics and Buddhists, generals and monks -- and reveals the country as if through Vietnamese eyes. With a clarity and authority unrivaled by any book before it or since, Fire in the Lake shows how America utterly and tragically misinterpreted the realities of Vietnam. Frances FitzGerald is the author of Fire in the Lake, America Revised and Cities on a Hill. Her books have won numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award and the Bancroft Prize for history. She has been a frequent contributor to The New Yorker and has written for many other publications, including The New York Times Magazine and The New York Review of Books. She lives in New York.
