SynopsisFirst published in 1972, The Village is a vivid and unbiased portrait of one Vietnamese hamlet in the grip of war -- and the daily lives, battles, and frustrations of its inhabitants, PF's and Marines. Few books have so convincingly or so personally evoked the Vietnam war's direct and devastating impact on real individuals and communities. Book jacket., In 1966, 12 U.S. Marines volunteered to live among the Vietnamese people in Binh Nghia village to advise and encourage the local farmers to defend themselves against the Viet Cong. When the overwhelming attack came, the Marines and militia held. A book that tells it like it was.--The New York Times.
