Paul Baker has modestly described his work as “a homogeneous blend of fiction and autobiography”, yet there is little fiction in his work but a real-life history book which should be compulsory reading for future generations trying to get the facts behind America’s intervention in Vietnam and Cambodia.

A Shadowy Passage is a book that blends the passion of experience with the serenity of perspective. It is a fair and most valuable historical assessment of a critical period of US foreign polocies towards Southeast Asia. I sincerely hope this salutary book will be widely read.
