Dr. America: The Lives of Thomas A. Dooley, 1927-1961

Description

The first major biography of the fabled "jungle doctor" of Southeast Asia, Dr. America chronicles the life of Tom Dooley, whose much publicized exploits in Vietnam and Laos during the 1950s helped lay the ideological groundwork for the U.S. military intervention a decade later. 33 illustrations.

Thomas A. Dooley's 1956 bestseller, Deliver Us from Evil, "quite literally located Vietnam on the map," as this provocative critical biography puts it. Dooley's passionately anticommunist description of evacuating Catholic refugees from North Vietnam made him a Cold War celebrity and a particular hero to his fellow American Catholics, who had no idea he campaigned relentlessly for his glowing press and spent his spare time pursuing not-very- closeted homosexual affairs. The brief life (1927-61) of this fascinatingly complex character here gets the thoughtful assessment and rich historical context it deserves.
