Into A Black Sun

Recognized as the author's finest work, Into A Black Sun blurs the line between literature and journalism, drawing on his experiences as a war correspondent in Vietnam to present an immersive depiction of the war. This is not a combat novel, but rather an Asian perspective on one of the wars that shaped modern America.
He tells his stories of the men and women of the land, of the conflicted turmoil of their beliefs and lives and deaths, through prose brought to life through the five senses, realizing the jungles, brothels, and camps of the Vietnam War, with the diverse people entrapped by it.
And in the telling, he reveals the enormous contradictions that the war revealed in friend and foe alike.

Long out of print, this edition brings Kaiko's immersive journey into the depths of the Vietnam War to a generation that is already forgetting the lessons learned there.
