«Der Tod im Reisfeld» is the historical essay by Peter Scholl-Latour, published by Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt in hardcover (384 pages, in German).
Based on his experiences in Indochina between 1946 and 1979 —as a French paratrooper, student and correspondent—, it addresses the liberation and civil wars in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos and the role of France, the USA, China and the USSR. It is not an exhaustive chronology, but a portrait of the political fabric and human tragedies of the region.
Published in 1980, this edition is the third and includes a chronological table and a general map of Indochina.
For those interested in the Vietnam War, colonial history and war journalism; text in German.
Peter Roman Scholl-Latour was a French-German journalist, author and reporter. Scholl-Latour was regarded as one of Europe's most important journalists, akin to what Walter Cronkite was in the US. For over six decades, he was one of the continent's most influential voices. During the Vietnam War, he was captured by the Viet Cong and managed to secure unique film footage during his captivity.
