About This Book
Viet Thanh Nguyen examines how wars are remembered — and forgotten — in Vietnam, the United States, and the Vietnamese diaspora. Arguing that memory is always a political act, he visits war museums, monuments, and memorials across Asia and the West to show how nations construct narratives of heroism and victimhood. Shortlisted for the NBCC Award for Nonfiction.
