I read Fall's Streets without Joy (about vietnam)....he was killed in vietnam...stepped on a land mine, his last words: "We've reached one of our phase lines after the firefight and it smells bad-meaning it's a little bit suspicious... Could be an amb-." ....death comes to us so quickly, so often....
I think the Galeano’s you’re thinking of are known as the Memory of Fire trilogy. I’ve read the Larteguy and the Greene books. I’m thinking of rereading The Quiet American hopefully this year. I think I read it originally in the 1980’s or so long ago that it doesn’t count anymore. There are tons and tons of books about the Vietnam war-fiction, non-fiction….even some poetry-Yusuf Komunyakaa or Bruce Weigl for instance. But really I haven’t read anything from the Vietnamese perspective apart from Viet Thanh Nguyen.
