It Happened in Hanoi - Hardcover

by Vernon L. Anley (Author)

"A wrongful arrest by the Vietnamese Security Service sets the background for this remarkable story. As exciting as it is revealing, the book examines some of literature's major themes: moral ambiguity, the nature of evil, the bittersweet dividends of power, and the grace of love." - J Lempriere "Intelligent and carefully crafted, It Happened in Hanoi is a story of love and duplicity, set against the background of State sponsored criminality. A rare combination of depth and breath, this probing book stirs both the heart and mind on many levels." - O.M. "It Happened in Hanoi is both an insightful commentary on the dangers of State administration disengaged from the restraints imposed by normal governmental practice, and a gripping story of a man's search for meaning in a world threatened by organized violence and terrorism. It is a book which everyone ought to read." - Falkiner
