The war years gave the west a view of Vietnam as little but jungles & waterways. The authors trip dispelled that myth. They discovered a splendid & incredibly diverse landscape & reached the conclusion that Vietnam is one of the most beautiful nations in all of southeast Asia. Beaches, serene seascapes, mountains, windswept plateaus, waterfalls, thousands of coastal islands, limestone inlets with towering walls & caves and, of course, the jungles & rivers ... they are all part of Vietnam. And then there were the people -- friendly & energetic. Wherever the authors traveled in Vietnam, they were warmly welcomed. 100+ color photos.
