Overview
Ā
Joseph Sherman first visits Saigonāthe capital of French colonial Cochin-Chinaāas a young man on his fatherās hunting trip in 1925. But the exotic land lures him back again and again as a traveler, soldier, and reporter. He returns because of his fascination for the enchanting cityāand for Lan, a mandarinās daughter he cannot forget.
Ā
Over five decades Josephās life becomes enmeshed with the political intrigues of two of Saigonās most influential families, the French colonist Devrauxs, and the native Trans. In this sweeping saga of tragedy and triumph, Joseph witnesses Vietnamās turbulent, war-torn fate. He is there when millions of coolies rise against the French, and during their bloody last stand at Dien Bien Phu. And he sees US military āadvisorsā fire their first shots in Americaās hopeless war against the Communist revolution.
A story of adventure, love, war, and political power, Saigon presents an enthralling and enlightening depiction of twentieth-century Vietnam.
