ANOTHER QUIET AMERICAN: STORIES OF LIFE IN LAOS (2ND ED.) [TRADE PAPERBACK] Author : DAKIN, BRETT ISBN : 9786167841007 Publisher : ASIA BOOKS CO.,LTD. Category : SOCIOLOGY, SOCIAL & CULTURAL S Language : ENGLISH Size (W x H) : 142x202x18 Weight : 0.33 Binding : Number of page : 355 Publication Date : 01/12/2013 Copyrights Year : - / Brett Dakin spent two years working in Laos and returned to the States a changed man. In Another Quiet American, he takes you through the corridors of power and the living rooms of the poor in Laos. You'll meet his boss, a wealthy general whose power and reputation scares his countrymen; a prince with connections to the French colonial past; an American pilot who left home for Indochina during the war and never returned; and, rich Lao twenty-somethings who have all the money they could want, but no happiness. Dakin provides a sympathetic yet irreverent glimpse into life in one of the world's few remaining communist nations, questioning the US's influence on the country and embarking on the soul-searching identity quest of an American abroad.
