The first book to chronicle the effects of chemical warfare on the Vietnamese people and their environment, where, even today, more than 3 million people including 500,000 children are sick and dying from birth defects, cancer and other illnesses that can be directly traced to Agent Orange/dioxin exposure. Weaving first-person accounts with original research, Vietnam War scholar Fred A. Wilcox examines long-term consequences for future generations, laying bare the ongoing tragedy in Vietnam. He calls for the US to admit its role in this chemical warfare.
