Sparring with Charlie by Christopher Hunt

Sparring with Charlie by Christopher Hunt

When Christopher Hunt set off in search of Vietnam's notorious Ho Chi Minh Trail, he hardly expected to end up on a rickety, Russian-made motorcycle navigating 5,000 kilometers of paths rarely traveled by tourists and on roads missing from maps. Hunt left the United States expecting to explore the 1,700-kilometer highway that was once the supply route for the North Vietnamese Army. He soon found himself roaming the Vietnamese countryside in need of help and direction. In the process, he found that being an American in Vietnam conjured constant reminders of the past and encountered a country and a people poised precariously between the ancient and the modern. With adventure, wit, and an eye for the absurd, Hunt goes beyond the newspaper headlines and myths about Vietnam to capture the color and complexity of Vietnam today.

Christopher Hunt and his wife, Ana, are enjoying retired life in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. When Chris isn't at his desk writing or outlining for his own enjoyment and that of his readers, you might find him in his workshop, garden, or greenhouse. He could be focused on a landscaping project, growing his chili peppers, or producing his to-die-for smoked pepper seasoning. Then again, he may be at church where he volunteers in the music ministry. Of course, it's quite possible he's sacked out on the sofa getting lost in a good book. Boredom is unacceptable.
