Nam: La Guerra de Vietnam En Palabras de Los Hombres Y Mujeres Que Lucharon En Ellavolume 1

Cuando en 1981 se public por primera vez "Nam", las heridas de la cruenta guerra de Vietnam segu an abiertas. Seis a os despu s de la finalizaci n de una de las intervenciones militares m s catastr ficas de los EE. UU., poco o nada se sab a de los hombres y mujeres que all lucharon. A los que regresaron, nadie les hab a preguntado qu vieron, c mo fue su experiencia, c mo les cambi ... Mark Baker, un joven que no fue a la guerra y vivi aquel periodo convulso desde las aulas de la universidad y el movimiento contestatario en suelo norteamericano, empez en 1972 a entrevistar --desde el estricto anonimato que brind a los casi ciento cincuenta testimonios que quisieron compartir con l su experiencia-- a excombatientes de una guerra que hab a atravesado cinco administraciones y cientos de miles de muertes de un bando y de otro. El resultado es uno de los libros m s feroces y descarnados, y a la vez l cidos, que se ha escrito jam s sobre la guerra.

When Nam was first published in 1981, the wounds of the bloody Vietnam War were still open. Six years after the completion of one of the most catastrophic military interventions in the US, little or nothing was known about the men and women who fought there. To those who returned, no one had asked them what they saw, how their experiences were, or how it changed them. Mark Baker, a young man who did not go to war and lived that turbulent period from the classrooms of the university began to interview those that returned. He anonymously interviewed almost 150 people who wanted to share their experience with him.
