Brett Dakin spent two years working in Vientiane, Laos and returned to the States a changed man. In Another Quiet American, he takes you through the corridors of power and into the living rooms of Laos.
You’ll meet his boss, a wealthy general whose power and reputation scares his countrymen: a prince with connections to the French colonial past: an American pilot who left home for Indochina during the war and never returned: and rich Lao twenty-somethings who have all the money they could want, but have yet to find happiness.
Dakin provides a sympathetic yet irreverent glimpse into life in one of the world’s few remaining communist nations, questioning the United States’ influence on the country and embarking on the soul-searching journey of a young American abroad.
