A Different Journey: Vietnam 1965-1973, (Hardcover)

In A Different Journey: Vietnam 1965-1973, a young man goes to Vietnam to find adventure in a place as unlike home as he could imagine. As an humanitarian aid volunteer and

journalist, Berliner encountered the Vietnamese people in their homes, markets, and cafes. Conversant in Vietnamese, he was able to distill his experiences and, with colleagues at fledgling Dispatch News Service International, provide global media with first-hand accounts of how the war on the ground was impacting the people of Vietnam.

Braiding his personal journey with both the history of the region and the contemporary military and political conflict, Berliner invites the reader to engage with the people of Vietnam directly and, in so doing, to consider anew the role of warfare in the midst of clashing cultures.
