Synopsis
Through powerful personal narratives and photographs, this examination of the lives touched by the Vietnam War draws from the experience of those people, both American and Vietnamese, affected by the war on the battlefront and at home. Stories recounted include those of the soldiers, nurses, refugees, Amerasians, and of those who fearfully awaited the return of friends and family members. Ultimately, the stories reflect moments of history in the hope and despair that define individuals' lives.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This beautiful book looks at the Vietnam War--or the American War, depending on your perspective--with the unflinching gaze of those who lived and continue to live its consequences. The photographs are simply exquisite; the narratives and interviews compelling. A map and chronology in the Resource Guide at the end of the book provide a solid reference for those who are interested in dates and cold facts, but the real power of the book is the window it opens onto a clear, touching, yet hopeful account of this monumental conflict. Charlene Edwards has brought forth a gem.

A Masterpiece
30. November 2002
Von Frederick A. Pereira, M.D.
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
In the thirty or so years since my tour of duty in Vietnam, I have read dozens of books on the tragedy of the Vietnam War. I can say unequivocally that Charlene Edwards' unique and unusual photographic essay is one of the best, if not the best, book I've read. It consists of a series of interrelated vignettes and anecdotes of Americans and Vietnamese who were affected by the war, accompanied by photography of the highest artistic order. Some of the stories are gut-wrenching, and I defy anyone to read them and not be moved. Edwards writes passionately from the heart, yet there is not a hint of rancor, politics or ideology. The book deals entirely within the human dimension, and therein lies its power. In this book you will meet the best of humanity...and the worst. I consider Voices of Vietnam a masterpiece, and very strongly recommend it to anyone interested in the Vietnam war in particular, and the long-term destructiveness of war in general.

A True Masterpiece

Von Tiger Boy
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The author is gifted with both lens and pen...the vivid photos coupled with poignant stories drags the reader through a twisting maze of emotions.
I believe that this is one of the very best books concerning a generation that is still trying to find it's way or perhaps come to terms with themselves...so many stories, so many unanswered questions....so much pain...so much heartbreak...so many tears.
Each story is filled with a vast spectrum of emotions.
Charlene Edwards is simply gifted...I can say no more to describe her talent.
I am unable to add more for fear of becoming redundant...I lack the words to offer a review that is worthy. I can only say that 5 stars is inadequet.
