Jigaboo, Bumbles, Blinky, Agent Orange, Corporal Napalm, Hogbody, Butterball, Good Pork Betty, the Betel Nut Queen, Noy the Laundry Girl, Corporal Comatose, Doc Spitz and Lieutenant Pearshape in the wackiest adventures of the Vietnam, or any other, war era.
Reviews
"Funny from the first page to the last.
A fine and funny book, ribald and occasionally touching. One of the better Asian reads of
the past few years."
—Bangkok Post
"This is M*A*S*H taken from behind the Korean
lines, set down in the rear-echelon of steamy Bangkok—titillated with the tinkle of
Thai laughter and temple bells. And it is an even funnier triumph of man over military
madness.
—Derek Maitland, author, The Only War We've Got
"This is a funny and human book which can
describe sex without descending into sheer nastiness."
—South China Morning Post
"Succeeds nicely in the creation of a time and
place that transcends mere setting."
—West Coast Review of Books
This book is also available at fine book stores everywhere.
