Latest review for DIVERTING THE BUDDHA (The Skewering of Democracy)


“This complex and deftly plotted novel examines a massive assault on a people crying out for democracy. It chronicles a time when American efforts to build democracy produced an apocalyptic disaster. While the author spares none of the grisly details of this repression, his special powers of language also brings his characters and their complex world vividly to life. The story leads its readers inside pagodas, university halls and military posts, all venues with which the novelist is perfectly familiar. The major theme of this novel is betrayal—of democratic aspirations, of the American public, of truth itself.

Latest review for DIVERTING THE BUDDHA (An Unforgettable Tale)


"DIVERTING THE BUDDHA is an ambitious novel that delivers through a vivid portrayal of the treachery and deceit that emerged during the catastrophic Vietnam War. Bob Swartzel wastes little time in immersing his readers in a chaotic world where poor innocent people are caught between a corrupt Vietnamese leadership, as well as the self-interest of a few profiteers and an American foreign policy gone amok. Among the many achievements of this novel is Swartzel’s ability to provide his readers with a realistic sense of the historical setting the characters inhabit. It also vividly captures the chaotic theater of war where we witness a gritty epoch of guns, politics, treachery and economic self-interest.

No doubt there are many novels pertaining to the Vietnam War, however, this one stands out as an unforgettable tale at its most emotional and painful with its multiple perspectives pertaining to the politics and history recounted in human terms.
