Caught between French colonialists and the Vietminh, Fowler, the narrator and seasoned foreign correspondent, observes: "I never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused." As young Pyle's policies blunder on into bloodshed, the older man finds it impossible to stand aside as an observer. But Fowler's motives for intervening are suspect, both to the police and to himself: for Pyle has robbed him of his Vietnamese mistress. 650 0 $a Indochinese War, 1946-1954 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Triangles (Interpersonal relations) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Americans $z Indochina $v Fiction. 650 0 $a War correspondents $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Indochina $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Vietnam $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Political fiction. $2 lcsh 655 7 $a War stories. $2 gsafd 650 7 $a Political fiction. 650 7 $a War stories. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0716/2001052393-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0716/2001052393-d.html 941 $a 5 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240111015045.0 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714013616.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20201013075113.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006025807.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=41172CBE2B0211DE8760C407A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b BBPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
