Summary
"This memoir seeks to clarify the nuances of South Vietnam's defeat. Van Nguyen Duong watched as the conflict affected his home, family, village and friends. He discusses not only the day-to-day hardships he endured from forced relocation and eventual imprisonment but also the anguish caused by the illusive reality of Vietnamese independence"--Provided by publisher.
