..Phil Karber's wonderful book is intimate, informed, colorful, and most of all, real, a marvelous tour, literal and figurative, of the Southeast Asian landscape. It has that quality that can only come from a writer who has experienced a place fully, over many years, met its people, observed its drama, and sifted it in his mind and heart so that it became a part of himself. ~ Richard Bernstein Berlin Bureau Chief, New York Times ... The Indochina Chronicles is a rare blend of history, war remembrance and modern observation driven by a deep desire to understand the culture, needs and desires of the nations that sufferred the tragic consequences from a lack of understanding. ~ Kay Johnson Vietnam correspondent, Time Magazine
