After working with the country folk of the Mekong Delta for several years, in 1963 Hickey was recruited by the RAND Corporation, which was contracted by the U.S. government to study and report on the highland tribes." "From the buildup to war, when mountain tribespeople still lived in longhouses and cut and burned brush to clear fields for rice, to near the end of the conflict, when he sailed away from Vietnam on the S. S. Idaho, Gerald Hickey experienced it all. He lived through the horrible Viet Cong night attack on the Nam Dong Special Forces Camp in July 1964, and he survived the full-scale battle at Ban Me Thuot during Tet, 1968. Worst, he witnessed the decline of the mountain people from proud highlanders to refugees from a war none of them wanted and few understood." "Hickey became respected by all parties as a fair intermediary between the highlands, the American mission, and to some extent the Saigon government. His understanding of the montagnards and his representation of their interests helped to resolve their conflict with Saigon in 1965 and assured their alliance with U.S. forces through the rest of the war."--BOOK JACKET.
