Description:
Bangkok.: Asia Books.. Second printing.. 2000.. Maps, black and white photographic illustrations, xiii + 284pp, glossary, slightly sunned spine, a very good paperback copy. "For 11 years during the Vietnam War - from 1963-1974 - Dr. Charles Weldon worked in Laos alongside the Meo refugees and tribesmen fighting the North Vietnamese Army and their Pathet Lao allies. Flying all over the country with CIA-run Air America, he was in charge of the remote, primitive, bamboo-and-thatch hospitals, and the 'clandestine schools with bootleg teachers' that provided the only moral and physical support to these people in their struggle against overwhelming odds. Tragedy in Paradise is his fascinating memoir of that time". From the Publisher. .

Description:
Bangkok: Asia Books, October 1999. Trade Paperback. Fine. Interior pristine. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Covers clean and bright. Not from a library. No remainder mark. xiii + 284 pages. 35 pages of plates, maps. This is the story of a country doctor from Louisiana involved in the war in Indochina. It is an anecdotal description of some of the events that occurred during the eleven years from June 1963 to July 1974 when the author, a physician, lived and worked in the Kingdom of Laos. It is a collection which is tied together by brief narrative sketches of his family and their daily lives. The book is a unique account of a tragic and little-known chapter of the "Secret" War in Laos, and of the wider conflict in Indochina as a whole.
