Written by Graham Greene and published in 1955, 'The Quiet American' is a novel set in 1950s Vietnam during the French colonial period. It explores themes of love, innocence, and political idealism through the eyes of a cynical British journalist, a young American idealist, and a Vietnamese woman, offering a prescient critique of American foreign policy.
And no one's really done that since Quiet American, Graham Green.
""Jack Carr mentions 'Quiet American, Graham Green' as a previous work that has explored the espionage thriller genre set in Southeast Asia, providing historical context for his own book '1968 Vietnam'."
