Such a Lovely Little War: Saigon 1961-63 #[nn]

This graphic memoir collects the first two volumes of Marcelino Truong's autobiographical series, chronicling his childhood in Saigon during the early years of the Vietnam War through the eyes of a young boy caught between cultures. The book blends personal family history with political context, depicting the escalating conflict from 1961 to 1963 as seen by the son of a Vietnamese diplomat and his French mother. Truong's detailed watercolor art brings a poignant, intimate perspective to a pivotal historical moment.
