""I am concerned with my own comfort, being able 'to live with myself', as people used to say. And that, in a nutshell, was why I had come to North Vietnam.
Patriotism, I had surmised, had played a large part in my decision to go, and this was true, as far as it went. I could not bear to see my country disfigure itself so, when I might do something to stop it. It had surprised me to find that I cared enough about America to risk being hit by a U. S. bomb for its sake..." "In five brilliant essays, four of which have already appeared in the New York Review of Books, and a spirited exchange of letters with Diana Trilling, Mary McCarthy concludes her analysis of the war in Vietnam which she first reported in 1967 in her brilliant polemic "Vietnam.""
