Synopsis
"Devastating."
THE NEW YORK TIMES
Authentic, infuriating, and explosively candid, this is the daring, classic bestseller that unmasked the blundering hypocrisy of some of our top-level diplomats. It exploses the opportunism, incompetence, and cynical deceit that have become embedded in the fabric of our public relations, not only in Asia but all over the world.

Review
A very important bombshell.
Not only important but consistently entertaining.
A powerful, searching book.
Slashing.... Draw[s] the reader into a vital subject rarely treated by fiction.
[A] powerful and absorbing indictment.... Should be required reading in Washington and elsewhere.
To make use of the truth, unbelievable truth... William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdick wrote this devastating indictment of American policy [in Southeast Asia] as fiction. But any correspondent who has been any length of time in the locale of the story will recognize its veracity.--Robert Trumbull
A delightfully readable book.--James A. Michener
Both enlightening and absorbing reading, with humor and wit.
