The cat from Hue

"An evocative, vividly detailed memoir of the madness and miracles of the Vietnam War by an award-winning reporter whose experiences in combat?and whose relationship with a Vietnamese cat named Meo?have haunted and inspired him for more than twenty-five years"@en
"The memoir of John Laurence, the man who covered the Vietnam War for CBS from 1965 to 1970."@en
"After years of reckoning with his memories, the author has made sense of them in this memoir by weaving them into a compelling story. It is laced with humor, anger, love, and the unforgettable tale of a very idiosyncratic cat who was determined to play his part in the Vietnam revolution. In reconstructing his experiences, he has relied not only on his notes and memory, but also on hundreds of hours of film footage shot at the time. This gives the book an uncanny vividness and fidelity to facts."
