Summary
"More than 250 distinguished authors--novelists, playwrights, biographers, poets and historians--in some 30 countries all over the world were asked their views on American intervention in Vietnam. Their answers are recorded in this book. They cover a wide range of attitudes: from outrage, through neutrality, to whole-hearted support for U.S. policy. The book thus crystallises intellectual opinion on Vietnam and provides a lasting document about a vital and controversial issue of our time"--Dust jacket.
