This story of how the relationships between a seasoned foreign correspondent trying not to become "involved" in the fighting, a young American idealist whose grievously misguided policies lead to bloodshed, and a young Vietnamese girl all play out during the death throes of French colonial ambitions in Vietnam in the early 50s. It formed the basis of the 2002 Miramax film with Michael Caine and Brendan Frasier.
