Book Synopsis
Explores a previously neglected aspect of the Vietnam War: the experiences of the Thai troops who served there and the attitudes and beliefs that motivated them to volunteer. It examines the experiences of Thai volunteers in their encounters with American allies, South Vietnamese civilians, and Viet Cong enemies, and demonstrates how the Thais were transformed by living amongst the modern goods and war machinery of the Americans, and by traversing the jungles and plantations haunted by indigenous spirits.
