Yellow Fever

They were dying of YELLOW FEVER, a sickness not of the body, but of the mind. It infected Jerome, the newspaperman, who came to Hanoi only to discover himself in the death throes of a city. In Hanoi the lovely half-caste Claire was giving her body to generals, to common soldiers, and to her city. In Saigon, the city of lost souls, Julien sought love and adventure while street battles raged in South Vietnam. These are the men and women – journalists, generals, prostitutes, politicians, and priests – who were caught in the fatal grip of YELLOW FEVER.
