Foreword-On withdrawing from Vietnam: an axchange -- Hanoi-March 1968 -- The party car -- North Viatnamese Bucolic --Language -- First principles
'There are many questions one does not want to ask in Hanoi'. In North Vietnam Mary McCarthy enjoyed the hospitality of a people which her immensely powerful American compatriots were struggling to annihilate. Much of the fascination of this virtuoso piece of reporting springs. from her personal and principled reactions to the endurance of the North Vietnamese in the face of circumstances which Western nations would find insufferable. Like her previous volume, Vietnam, this book is both a painfully acute, ultimately inspiring account of a resistance which can (without risk of cliché) be called heroic, and an account of an identity crisis afflicting one American intellectual and the whole Western world.
