The Spitting Image
Jerry Lembcke
One of the most resilient images of the Vietnam era is that of the anti-war protester-often a woman-spitting on the uniformed veteran just off the plane. Jerry Lembcke demonstrates that not a single incident of this sort has been convincingly documented. Rather, it is an urban myth which reflects the lingering national confusion over the war.

When Broken Glass Floats
Chanrithy Him
In the Cambodian proverb, “when broken glass floats” is the time when evil triumphs against good.
In 1969 Chanrithy and her family were forced from their homes by the chaos of the war in Vietnam to Penom Phen. When the Khmer Rouge took power in 1975 the Him family was forced violently from their home once again.
