Description
This work chronicles the life of Tom Dooley, the doctor whose publicized exploits in Vietnam and Laos during the 1950s, helped lay the ideological groundwork for the US military intervention a decade later. A deeply religious Roman Catholic, Dooley was a playboy socialite, yet devoted to the poor.
