Sommario/riassunto |
|
Between 1962 and 1971, the U.S. military sprayed approximately twenty million gallons of Agent Orange and other chemical defoliants on Vietnam and Laos. This collection of twelve short stories by Vietnamese writers reveals this tragic legacy and raises troubling moral questions about the physical, spiritual, and environmental consequences of war. |
