All of Greene's books are a pleasure to read—not just for his nearly flawless prose, but also for his consistently accurate dramatization of such exotic lands as Liberia, Paraguay, Haiti, and Cuba. The Quiet American is remarkable on two levels: First, for its keen portrayal of the expatriate experience in Saigon, and second for its chillingly accurate prediction of America's eventual military quagmire in Vietnam.
