This was a new country; in Vietnam, Now, David Lamb brings it--and us--forward from its dark, distant past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the myriad personalities entwined in the dark, distant history of the war to those focused toward the future, Lamb reveals a rich and culturally diverse people as they share their memories of the country's past, and their hopes for a peacetime future. A portrait of a beautiful country and a remarkable, determined people, Vietnam, Now is a personal journey that will change the way we think of Vietnam, and perhaps the war as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43566966341706,"sku":"6617ai","price":8.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/6617ai.jpg?v=1777948054","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/vietnam-now-a-reporter-returns-by-david-lamb","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
