Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Summary:During the Vietnam War, the United States government waged a massive, secret air war in neighboring Laos. Two million tons of bombs were dropped on one million people. The editor, an educational advisor living in Laos at the time, interviewed over 1,000 Laotian survivors. Shocked by what he heard and saw, he urged them to record their experiences in essays, poems, and pictures. This book was the result of that effort. When first published in 1972, this book was instrumental in exposing the bombing. In this expanded edition, the editor follows the story forward in time, describing the hardships that Laotians faced after the war when they returned to find their farm fields littered with cluster munitions - explosives that continue to maim and kill decades after the war.

Wraps. 7, [1] p. Includes illustrations. From Wikipedia: "Fred Branfman is an American anti-war activist and author of a number of books about the Indochina War. Working as the Director of Project Air War in 1969 he wrote about the U.S. bombing in Indochina, which he claimed was directed at civilians. Branfman worked as a policy advisor for former California governor Jerry Brown, Gary Hart and Tom Hayden. Branfman was working as an educational advisor for the U.S. government in Laos, when in September 1969 thousands of refugees fled into the Laotian capital of Vientiane. Working as a translator for international media, he began to interpret thousands of villagers' stories, telling of planes dropping bombs. Told by U.S. officials in Laos that Americans had nothing to do with the bombs, Branfman became consumed with the desire to understand what was happening. Gathering details, he journeyed to Washington and spoke at a special session of the U.S. Senate Committee on Refugees, exposing the U.S. government's covert activities. Today Branfman works as a writer, living in Santa Barbara. His articles have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Harper's, Playboy, Salon and the New Republic. He contributes to the Glendon Association and works with Robert W.
