Cuando en 1981 se publicó por primera vez Nam, las heridas de la cruenta guerra de Vietnam seguían abiertas. Seis años después de la finalización de una de las intervenciones militares más catastróficas de los EE. UU., poco o nada se sabía de los hombres y mujeres que allí lucharon. A los que regresaron, nadie les había preguntado qué vieron, cómo fue su experiencia, cómo les cambió… Mark Baker, un joven que no fue a la guerra y vivió aquel periodo convulso desde las aulas de la universidad y el movimiento contestatario en suelo norteamericano, empezó en 1972 a entrevistar —desde el estricto anonimato que brindó a los casi ciento cincuenta testimonios que quisieron compartir con él su experiencia— a excombatientes de una guerra que había atravesado cinco administraciones y cientos de miles de muertes de un bando y de otro. El resultado es uno de los libros más feroces y descarnados, y a la vez lúcidos, que se ha escrito jamás sobre la guerra.
