Sheehan, Neil - A Bright Shining Lie -John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam - ( Item 140221 )
Published in London by Folio Society. 2021. First Thus. 2 Fine or Near Fine Hardbacks. Spine title panel very slightly worn on volume 2. No inscriptions or bookplates. Fine slipcase. Introduced by George Packer. A Bright Shining Lie is Neil Sheehan's Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the Vietnam War told through lieutenant colonel John Paul Vann, with a new introduction by George Packer for The Folio Society. 2 volumes three-quarter-bound in blocked cloth, with printed and blocked cloth front boards. Set in Miller. 1,040 pages in total. Frontispiece and 32 pages of colour and black & white images per volume. 5 integrated maps. Slipcase printed with a design by Mark Smith. 10" x 6.75". In A Bright Shining Lie, Neil Sheehan peels back the mythology of the Vietnam War to expose its full horror, tragedy and waste. He centres his account on one man: US Lieutenant Colonel John Paul Vann, who tried to persuade Pentagon and public alike that the conflict was being murderously bungled by American forces and their South Vietnamese allies. Sixteen years in the writing, A Bright Shining Lie gives an unflinching account of how the war was waged: from events that have gone down in infamy, such as the Battle of Ap Bac and the Tet Offensive, to the countless, nameless atrocities against Vietnamese villagers throughout the longest war in American history. Sheehan, who died in 2021, collaborated with The Folio Society to create this two-volume edition, putting forward the award-winning war journalist George Packer to write a new introduction. A winner of the Pulitzer Prize, National Book Award and Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, this is among the few essential works on a conflict that divided America and continues to haunt its conscience.
