The Vietnam Syndrome
Christopher Hitchens forcefully condemns the continuing impact from using Agent Orange in the Vietnam War. Read by Roger Allam.
Christopher Hitchens' disturbing report from Vietnam in 2006 on the continuing devastation caused by the use of Agent Orange in the Vietnam war.
Christopher Hitchens was a British-born political journalist and reviewer, who was based in the USA for over 25 years. His journalism, invariably polemical, appeared in a variety of publications, mainly in the USA, but in the UK too. Arguably is the fifth collection of his journalism - the columns defined as 'Essays' in the book.
The five 'Essays' selected for Book Of The Week all originally appeared in The Atlantic Journal.
Written by Christopher Hitchens.
Abridged by Pete Nichols
Read by Roger Allam
