REDISCOVERING VIETNAM

Photographs by Steve Raymer

Text by Paul Martin

Introduction by Jack Smith

Three Vietnam veterans — a writer, a photographer, and a television correspondent — rediscover this country of captivating beauty and fascinating cultural treasures. National Georgraphic Traveler editor Paul Martin travels the length of this once embattled land, from colonial-flavored Hanoi to scenic Halong Bay, the old imperial capital of Hue, historic Danang, Nha Trang, Dalat, and finally Saigon, now Ho Chi Minh City. Award-winning photographer Steve Raymer contributes 140 arresting photographs. ABC News correspondent Jack Smith remembers his fallen comrades of the 1st Air Cavalry Division.

"I hope any American who is still disturbed by memories of the war we did not win will see this book." — Senator John McCain
