On 8 June 1972, nine-year-old Kim Phuc, severely burned by napalm, ran naked and screaming from her destroyed village and into the eye of history. Her outstretched, burnt arms and the scream of pain captured on her lips haunted a generation and helped turn public opinion against the Vietnam War. This book is the story of how that photograph came to be, but more importantly what happened to Kim Phuc after it was taken — years of painful rehabilitation and manipulation by a Communist regime before escaping to a new life of freedom in the West.
