Originally an idealistic province-level do-gooder in the wars earliest days, a disillusioned Carl Robinson quit in protest after Tet 68 and became a journalist for the remainder of the Vietnam War, including running for those US helicopters as Saigon fell in April 1975. His dramatic and personal account, including the defining romance of his life and his addiction to heroin, are captured in this hugely colourful, brilliant and evocative story. The Bite of the Lotus takes you on a wild ride, documenting the terrors and injustice of the war at a local, familial level, and the stark reality of Americas flawed involvement in South Vietnam. It is also an insiders view of how photographers and journalists functioned and somehow survived in this incendiary environment. The book includes harrowing accounts of helicopter flights reminiscent of scenes from Apocalypse Now, the camaraderie Carl had with those who perished covering combat, and his drug-fuelled friendship with Sean Flynn, the estranged son of Errol Flynn, and their stoned adventures riding motorbikes around the potentially lethal, war-torn and pot-holed landscapes of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

Odyssey Illustrated Guide to Australia (Odyssey Illustrated Guides)

The vast continent of Australia is still a place apart. It is the world's oldest continent, but little is known about its ancient past. There is a unique feel to Australia--the reversed seasons, flowers that don't smell, distinctive wildlife and, of course, its diverse people. Blessed by a near-perfect climate, life in Australia has a pace of its own and Australians are among the most hospitable people on earth. This highly readable guide is the perfect introduction to that wonderful continent. Each of Australia's states and territories is covered in separate sections, all extensively revised. Special topics give additional insight to aspects of daily life--pubs, wine, Aussie slang, sports, cinema and the uneasy status of the native Aborigines--while literary excerpts give some interesting views of the country. Extensively revised third edition. New topics include the Sydney 2000 Olympics, wine and Australian cinema. Literary excerpts, by and about Australians, illuminate local culture and idiosyncracies. Clear and informative maps. Outstanding photographs emphasize the diversity of Australia. Emphasis on having fun in Australia. Entertaining and intelligent introduction to an enigmatic country.
