Living with Agent Orange: Conversations in Postwar Viet Nam (Culture and Politics in the Cold War and Beyond)

<p><div> <p>For over half a century, the Vietnamese people have endured the harmful legacies of Agent Orange, the toxic herbicide used by the American military as a type of chemical warfare. While scientists and politicians continue to debate how to best address its human and environmental consequences, the nearly three million Vietnamese whose lives have been shaped by its lingering effects have been largely left out of the conversation.</p> <p>To understand how Agent Orange has impacted the lives and livelihoods of everyday Vietnamese people, Diane Niblack Fox interviewed families and individuals living with its aftereffects across the northern, central, and southern regions of the country. In powerfully written prose, Fox shares the personal accounts of villagers, as they describe caring for loved ones with chronic illnesses and disabilities and their attempts to secure medical and financial assistance. <i>Living with Agent Orange</i> also chronicles the moving stories of rebuilt lives, of family and community support, and of the overriding power of the human spirit.</p> </div></p>
