First edition
Plot summaryedit
The novel traces the resistance movement of a group of freedom fighters who are watched by secret police at the capital, and who later migrated to the northern provinces of their country (Vietnam during the Vietnam War) to continue their struggles against foreign invaders. The most prominent of these is the protagonist Tranh. The immolation of the title refers to the self-immolation act practised by young Buddhist monk Tran Kim at the start of the novel, as a form of silent protest against the government.
