Frances FitzGerald's landmark history of Vietnam and the Vietnam War, "A compassionate and penetrating account of the collision of two societies that remain untranslatable to one another." (New York Times Book Review)

This magisterial work, based on Frances FitzGerald's many years of research and travels, takes us inside the history of Vietnam--the traditional, ancestor-worshiping villages, the conflicts between Communists and anti-Communists, Catholics and Buddhists, generals and monks, the disruption created by French colonialism, and America's ill-fated intervention--and reveals the country as seen through Vietnamese eyes.

Originally published in 1972, FIRE IN THE LAKE was the first history of Vietnam written by an American, and subsequently won the Pulitzer Prize, the Bancroft Prize, and the National Book Award. With a clarity and insight unrivaled by any author before it or since, Frances FitzGerald illustrates how America utterly and tragically misinterpreted the realities of Vietnam.

Will be purchasing green cables in the near future. Ugreen has become my new go to company for accessories.

One cable does it all, rock solid Ethernet and great 4K output
This hub has simplified my desk setup considerably. I plug it into my MacBook and instantly have Ethernet, 4K HDMI, two USB-A ports, and 100W charging all from one connection. The Ethernet is Gigabit and the speeds are as fast as plugging directly into the router. The 4K HDMI output to my monitor is clean with no flickering. It runs slightly warm during extended use but nothing alarming. Build quality feels solid and UGREEN has been consistently reliable in my experience. Worth every penny if you need to expand a USB-C only laptop.

Nothing Special
Works as intended. I bought it mostly for the Ethernet adapter which was plug and play with the latest installation of Fedora Linux and uses an AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet chipset. The Ethernet portion does not have activity lights. A bit of a lazy omission. Port locations are smartly placed with the HDMI output and power input at the back facing one direction, and the Type A USB peripheral ports facing the other. This is great for cable routing. The single Type C port is only for power delivery. It will not work for data to connect other peripherals.

UGREEN
Very useful and compact USB-C hub. It easily expands connectivity with HDMI, USB ports, and fast charging support. The 4K HDMI output works well for presentations and streaming, and the 100W power delivery keeps devices charged without issues. Build quality feels solid, and it’s perfect for travel or daily use. Great value for the price.

Compact and useful.
It's small and light enough to fit in my bag easily. My computer uses a USB-c charger, and there's only one port, but I was able to use it for ethernet, and pass the charging through the same port. I've had issues with my computer not recognizing charging from some sources before, so this was great.
