Saigon: An Epic Novel of Vietnam

An epic saga of love, blood, and destiny in twentieth-century Vietnam: â€œThis superb novel could well be the War and PeaceÂ of our ageâ€ (San Francisco Chronicle).
Â
Joseph Sherman first visits Saigonâ€”the capital of French colonial Cochin-Chinaâ€”as a young man on his fatherâ€™s hunting trip in 1925. But the exotic land lures him back again and again as a traveler, soldier, and reporter. He returns because of his fascination for the enchanting cityâ€”and for Lan, a mandarinâ€™s daughter he cannot forget.
Â
Over five decades Josephâ€™s life becomes enmeshed with the political intrigues of two of Saigonâ€™s most influential families, the French colonist Devrauxs, and the native Trans. In this sweeping saga of tragedy and triumph, Joseph witnesses Vietnamâ€™s turbulent, war-torn fate. He is there when millions of coolies rise against the French, and during their bloody last stand at Dien Bien Phu. And he sees US military â€œadvisorsâ€ fire their first shots in Americaâ€™s hopeless war against the Communist revolution.

A story of adventure, love, war, and political power, Saigon presents an enthralling and enlightening depiction of twentieth-century Vietnam.
