«Nichts und Amen» is the book by Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci about the Vietnam War, published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in paperback (336 pages, in German).
Fallaci recounts her experience as a correspondent in Vietnam between 1967 and 1968, starting from her little sister's question: «What is life?». Amid bombings, ambushes and fear, she portrays soldiers from both sides and reflects on the duality of the human being, «angel and beast», and on the strange vitality born from facing extreme danger. The narrative combines war chronicles, conversations with military personnel and documents such as a Vietcong diary.
Work originally published in Italian as «Niente e così sia», translated into German by Heinz Riedt and winner of the Bancarella Prize in 1970.
For readers of non-fiction and journalism who want a testimony in German about the Vietnam War.
