This compelling and poetic photographic odyssey reveals a complicated country few Americans have ever seen. This is not a document about the war, nor is it the pastoral idyll other photographers have shown us. Vietnam, through Epstein's eyes, is a sometimes disturbing and sometimes sublime portrait of a country's ongoing transformation.

"This is beautiful, authoritative work by an extremely intelligent and gifted photographer."--Susan Sontag

"One of the year's most engaging books. . .unflichingly vivid and honest."--The New York Times Book Review

"Epstein's color pictures from Vietnam are so flat-out beautiful they tend to overwhelm judgement. This is rich, engrossing work from one of the year's best books."--The Village Voice
