Published as part of the Third World Series edited by Marianne Alexandre, the book chronicles the political upheaval, foreign intervention, and human cost endured by two nations caught in the crossfire of superpower rivalry, drawing on Burchett's unparalleled access as one of the most controversial and fearless war correspondents of his era.\n\nBurchett, an Australian journalist renowned for reporting from the communist side of Cold War conflicts, argues with characteristic conviction that Western narratives systematically obscured the true nature and scale of the suffering inflicted upon the Indochinese peoples. His prose is urgent and polemical, combining eyewitness testimony with sharp geopolitical analysis to construct an alternative history that challenges official orthodoxies. A vital and contested document of its time, this volume leaves the reader questioning just how much of the war's full story has ever truly been told.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130939678939,"sku":"2026100007137-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/85e08414-e040-4185-a4c0-3d2c5a041c85.png?v=1786592922","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007137-secondhand-second-indochina-war-cambodia-and-laos-today","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
