In the course of this fascinating journey, he discusses strategy with the generals who engineered the Communist victory, visits prisons where Americans were captive, and learns the value of the postwar phrase "I am not a Russian." Many observations are unfavorable, including those on the persistent black market, political dogmatism, and the rigidity of a highly structured socialist society. Yet the strength of the Vietnamese people is revealed also: the frugality of the impoverished where nothing is discarded, and the use of the word "sacrifice" only to mean death (no other hardship is worthy of the term). Finally, Broyles achieves a fulfilling sense of comradeship with his former enemies. An engrossing account
