As America's longest and most controversial war, it coincided with domestic turmoil in the United States and in Southeast Asia, led to the displacement of large numbers of people, and strained the social fabric of Cambodian, Lao, and Vietnamese societies. The complex nature of the war means that despite the many books that have been written about it, much remains to unfold, in particular the experiences of ethnic minorities in Laos who became entangled in Cold War politics during the 1960s and 1970s. This text fills the gap by exploring the dramatic forces of history that drew several dozen young Hmong men to become fighter pilots in the United States' Secret War in Laos, which was in direct support of the larger war in Vietnam. 000865849 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on March 13, 2019). 000865849 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bCentral Intelligence Agency$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000865849 650_0 $$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$$xCampaigns$$zLaos. 000865849 650_0 $$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$$xParticipation, Hmong (Asian people) 000865849 650_0 $$aAir pilots, Military$$zLaos$$vInterviews. 000865849 650_0 $$aAir pilots, Military$$zUnited States$$vInterviews. 000865849 650_0 $$aHmong (Asian people)$$zUnited States$$vInterviews. 000865849 650_0 $$aPolitical refugees$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000865849 650_0 $$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$$xAerial operations, American. 000865849 650_0 $$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$$vPersonal narratives. 000865849 651_0 $$aLaos$$xHistory, Military$$y20th century. 000865849 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780190622145 000865849 830_0 $$aOxford oral history series. 000865849 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000865849 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000865849 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190622145.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000865849 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:865849$$pGLOBAL_SET 000865849 980__ $$aEBOOK 000865849 980__ $$aBIB 000865849 982__ $$aEbook 000865849 983__ $$aOnline
