Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES. A Rift in the Earth tells the remarkable story of the ferocious "Art War" that raged between 1979 and 1984 over what kind of memorial should be built to honor the men and women who died in…the Vietnam War. The story intertwines art, politics, historical memory, patriotism, racism, and a fascinating set of characters, from those who fought in the conflict and those who resisted it to politicians at the highest level. At its center are two enduring figures: Maya Lin, a young Asian-American architecture student at Yale whose abstract design won the international competition but triggered a fierce backlash among powerful figures; and Frederick Hart, an innovative sculptor of humble origins on the cusp of stardom. James Reston, Jr., a veteran who lost a close friend in the war and has written incisively about the conflict's bitter aftermath, explores how the debate reignited passions around Vietnam long after the war's end and raised questions about how best to honor those who fought and sacrificed in an ill-advised war. Such questions, in the context of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, could not be more relevant today. The book is richly illustrated with design entries from the memorial competition and photographs from the era. THERE IS A BLACK "CLOSEOUT/REMAINDER" MARK ON THE BOTTOM PAGE EDGES.

"The memorial appears as a rift in the earth, a long polished black stone wall, emerging from and receding into the earth." Maya Lin "I see the wall as a kind of ocean, a sea of sacrifice. . . . I place these figures upon the shore of that sea." Frederick Hart.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. xi, [1], 267, [7] pages. Illustrations (some with color). Notes. Selected Bibliography. Index. Signed by the author sticker on the front of the dust jacket. Signed with comments on the title page. Inscription reads James Reston Jr. Sept. 2017 Washington. Jame…s Reston Jr. (March 8, 1941 July 19, 2023) was an American journalist, documentarian and author of political and historical fiction and nonfiction. He wrote about the Vietnam War, the Jonestown Massacre, civil rights, the impeachment of Richard Nixon, and the September 11 attacks. Reston was an assistant to and speechwriter for U.S. Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall from 1964 to 1965. He was a reporter for the Chicago Daily News from 1964 to 1965. From 1965 to 1968, he served in the U.S. Army as an intelligence officer and sergeant. From 1971 to 1981, he was a lecturer in creative writing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. From 1976 to 1977, he was a fiction reviewer for the Chronicle of Higher Education. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Reston wrote numerous pieces about amnesty for Vietnam deserters, people who had left the United States rather than serving in the war. This led to two books, both collection of essays, When Can I Come Home, in 1972 and The Amnesty of John David Herndon in 1973. From 1976 to 1977, Reston was David Frost's Watergate adviser for the historic Nixon interviews. Reston's book about the interviews, The Conviction of Richard Nixon, was the inspiration for Peter Morgan's 2006 play Frost/Nixon. He received the Valley Forge Award for Sherman's March and Vietnam in 1985. A Distinguished and Best-selling Historian and Army Veteran Revisits the Culture War that Raged around the Selection of Maya Lin's Design for the Vietnam Memorial. A Rift in the Earth tells the remarkable story of the ferocious "art war" that raged between 1979 and 1984 over what kind of memorial should be built to honor the men and women who died in the Vietnam War.

"The memorial appears as a rift in the earth, a long polished black stone wall, emerging from and receding into the earth." --Maya Lin. "I see the wall as a kind of ocean, a sea of sacrifice. . . . I place these figures upon the shore of that sea." --Frederick Hart Derived from a Kirkus review: A gripping history of the fights over how to memorialize the Vietnam War. Given the contentiousness of the war, the clashes it aroused on the home front, and the way that it undermined the confidence Americans had in their government, it should come as no surprise that the question of how to honor the war and those who fought it created its own controversy. In this fine book, accomplished journalist and military veteran Reston brings to life the intense wars of words and political machinations inspired by the decision to build a Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. At the center of the book and the conflicts it depicts is the outcome of the 1981 competit. Susan Raines (Author photograph) (illustratore).
