The Quiet American by Graham Greene

5.0

"Sooner or later...one has to take sides - if one is to remain human."

A gritty glimpse of Vietnam during a time of war and what happens when a young American political idealist befriends an aging British journalist whose attempt to remain a neutral observer is challenged. The struggle for the affection of a young Vietnamese woman further complicates the situation and likely propel events forward.
