Title: No Passenger on the River
Description: "No Passenger on the River" is a former South Vietnamese officer's account of the racism he encountered when he fell in love with a senior U.S. official's daughter during the early years of the Vietnam War.  Beautifully written, it is a haunting account of the contradictions that undermined the U.S.-South Vietnamese relationship from the beginning, and would ultimately prove fatal.

(Note:  1989 apparently is a subsequent publication date.  I read the book at a U.S. military library in Thailand in April of 1967.)
