ALL THE WRONG PLACES Adrift in the Politics of the Pacific Rim <i> by James Fenton (Atlantic Monthly Press: $7.95; 269 pp.)</i>

The articles about the fall of Vietnam are the heart and soul of the book, full of vivid portraiture of both the victors and the vanquished. A refreshingly unsentimental glimpse of journalism in the trenches of the Third World.
