"There have been a succession of books on the Vietnam conflict, though

there have been few that have told it from the South Vietnam point of view,

from the aspect of the true losers, those who fought for a and believed in

the nascent Southern Republic. Ngo The Vinh brings us essays illuminating

his experience as doctor with the crack rangers, here in dealing with the

dichotomies of combat. He then moves to the disconcerting life of a refugee

rebuilding a life in the strangeness of Southern California and the struggle

to reestablish in his profession amongst the politically riven ex-pat

community of the 1/2 million boat people. A perspective totally neglected in

prose so far. You will find yourself slipping in the mindset of the soldier

doctor, prisoner in the gulag and liberated uprooted refugees through to

nascent middle class American. The whole time you hear the plaintive

tones of a man attached still to the spiritual roots of that haunting country

Viet Nam."
