Abbas plunges back into his contact sheets and gives us an intimate selection of the reports he made in Vietnam from 1972 to 1975, being in particular one of the first photographers to bring back images of Viêt-cong. Deeply marked by this country, he returned there in 2008 and confronted his memories with a new nation which had opened up to capitalism. From Saigon to Hanoi, via anti-war demonstrations in Miami and the Non-Aligned Summit of Cuba, until his return to Vietnam thirty years later, this book brings together war photos, but also and above all images of the cities the photographer has traveled, faces of those he met. Beyond the historical and political testimony, Abbas tells of this country that touched him so much.

It was the conflict that shocked America and the world, but the struggle for peace is central to the history of the Vietnam War. Rejecting the idea that war between Hanoi and the US was inevitable, the author traces North Vietnam's programs for a peaceful reunification of their nation from the 1954 Geneva negotiations up to the final collapse of the Saigon government in 1975. She also examines the ways that groups and personalities in South Vietnam responded by crafting their own peace proposals, in the hope that the Vietnamese people could solve their disagreements by engaging in talks without outside interference. While most of the writing on peacemaking during the Vietnam War concerns high-level international diplomacy, Sophie Quinn-Judge reminds us of the courageous efforts of southern Vietnamese, including Buddhists, Catholics, students and citizens, to escape the unprecedented destruction that the US war brought to their people. The author contends that US policymakers showed little regard for the attitudes of the South Vietnamese population when they took over the war effort in 1964 and sent in their own troops to fight it in 1965. A unique contribution of this study is the interweaving of developments in South Vietnamese politics with changes in the balance of power in Hanoi; both of the Vietnamese combatants are shown to evolve towards greater rigidity as the war progresses, while the US grows increasingly committed to President Thieu in Saigon, after the election of Richard Nixon.
