YA-- A unique view of the ambivalances and contradictions of the U. S. role in Vietnam. A conscientious objector who chose to serve the Vietnamese people by teaching English and sending child war victims to the States for medical treatment, Balaban immersed himself in their lives and cultures. This tough kid from the Boston projects, Harvard graduate, poet, and novelist traveled with equal ease among American GIs, CIA agents, journalists, and local people. Readers will relate to his compassionate, anguished narrative and thrill to his many heroic escapades.
