Description and Table of Contents
Description
In 1985, Granta published James Fenton's extraordinary - and now legendary - account of the fall of Saigon. Twenty years after the first tank entered the city, four writers examine the aftermath of that terrible war. Philip Gourevitch visits refugee camps across Southeast Asia and meets the boat people fleeing the peace. Tran Vu describes his escape from Vietnam by sea, crammed in a tiny hold with three hundred others: the sharks, the shipwreck, the pirates. Paul Eggers exposes the arrogance and self-loathing of the white-bastard 'saviours' who run the UN refugee camps. And from Bao Ninh, a story about a ghost who still haunts the battlefields.
