About the Book

Cuando en 1981 se publicó por primera vez "Nam", las heridas de la cruenta guerra de Vietnam seguían abiertas. Seis años después de la finalización de una de las intervenciones militares más catastróficas de los EE. UU., poco o nada se sabía de los hombres y mujeres que allí lucharon. A los que regresaron, nadie les había preguntado qué vieron, cómo fue su experiencia, cómo les cambió... Mark Baker, un joven que no fue a la guerra y vivió aquel periodo convulso desde las aulas de la universidad y el movimiento contestatario en suelo norteamericano, empezó en 1972 a entrevistar --desde el estricto anonimato que brindó a los casi ciento cincuenta testimonios que quisieron compartir con él su experiencia-- a excombatientes de una guerra que había atravesado cinco administraciones y cientos de miles de muertes de un bando y de otro. El resultado es uno de los libros más feroces y descarnados, y a la vez lúcidos, que se ha escrito jamás sobre la guerra.

When Nam was first published in 1981, the wounds of the bloody Vietnam War were still open. Six years after the completion of one of the most catastrophic military interventions in the US, little or nothing was known about the men and women who fought there. To those who returned, no one had asked them what they saw, how their experiences were, or how it changed them. Mark Baker, a young man who did not go to war and lived that turbulent period from the classrooms of the university began to interview those that returned. He anonymously interviewed almost 150 people who wanted to share their experience with him.
About the Author: Mark Baker is the author of seven books of interviews including Cops: Their Lives in Their Own Word, Women: American Women in Their Own Words, among others. After a brilliant career as a best-selling writer, Baker worked as a construction worker and painter, and later as a freelance editor and writer for a wide range of genres that ranged between the young adult romance novel to perfume advertising.
