The moving story of how a small group of people—including two Vietnam veterans—forced the U.S. government to take responsibility for the ongoing horrors—agent orange and unexploded munitions—inflicted on the Vietnamese.
“Fifty years after the last U.S. service member left Vietnam, the scars of that war remain…This [is the] remarkable story of a group of individuals determined to heal those enduring wounds.”—Elliot Ackerman, author of The Fifth Act and 2034
The American war in Vietnam has left many long-lasting scars that have not yet been sufficiently examined. The worst of them were inflicted in a tiny area bounded by the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh Trail in neighboring Laos. That small region saw the most intense aerial bombing campaign in history, the massive use of toxic chemicals, and the heaviest casualties on both sides.
In The Long Reckoning, George Black recounts the inspirational story of the small cast of characters—veterans, scientists, and Quaker-inspired pacifists, and their Vietnamese partners—who used their moral authority, scientific and political ingenuity, and sheer persistence to attempt to heal the horrors that were left in the wake of the military engagement in Southeast Asia. Their intersecting story is one of reconciliation and personal redemption, embedded in a vivid portrait of Vietnam today, with all its startling collisions between past and present, in which one-time mortal enemies, in the endless shape-shifting of geopolitics, have been transformed into close allies and partners.
The Long Reckoning is being published on the fiftieth anniversary of the day the last American combat soldier left Vietnam.

The Vietnamese people should never forgive the empire who started this terrible and inexcusable war.

It’s a good thing we had white men to teach the rest of us that killing brown people was wrong….

koloko - white men don’t hold a monopoly on violence. Have you ever noticed how violent Africa and the inner cities are?

That would be the French.
But the French at least admitted it when they got their assés kicked. The Americans continue to whine and always will.
The Vietnamese, on the other hand, are usually incredibly polite and friendly to Americans who visit. It really is an incredible country.

France colonized SE Asia for almost 100 years and killed way more Viet’s than the USA ever did, but most gay retarded idiots no nothing about history. Comments here are hilarious.
