The Vietnam War featured political upheavals, battle tactics, and lots of publicity. But underneath all that were everyday people whose lives were forever altered by three decades of fighting. In this memoir, author Don Lao looks back at what the people of Vietnam went through with this account of how his family went from living an honest and simple life to losing everything in a harrowing war that engulfed Southeast Asia. Lao lived an idyllic childhood with his parents, eight brothers, and four sisters, but he was eventually swept into the South Vietnamese Army. Although he was born in Vietnam, he was Chinese in heritage—and so he was always treated like a foreigner, even when he was fighting the communists. When Saigon fell, he sought a better life, leading him to a cargo ship along with other refugees who became known as the boat people. Their path to America was the first step in finding better lives and reconnecting with loved ones. Their tenacity and resiliency earned them the ultimate freedom as Americans living the American dream.

Lea Tran begins her memoir with vivid details of the historically-significant Vietnam War era as she and her family experienced the upheaval when the communists brought down Saigon and their world was forever changed. With extraordinary courage and determination, Tran's resourceful father managed to get his family out of the country, albeit as "boat people." "Lea Tran tells her family's refugee story, giving a poignant and moving voice to the many refugees who risked their lives fleeing Vietnam," said Pastor Tim Rauk, one of the many Americans who sponsored refugees during that crisis. In this compelling story, the plot thickens for the refugees as they endure the dangers of the open seas, attacks by pirates, and abrupt rejection, just when they finally reach a port they thought would be their salvation. In I Did Not Miss the Boat, Tran writes, "There is a misconception that once refugees settle in a new country, problems are solved, but this is false?I learned that fitting into the American mainstream does not guarantee happiness, unless I deal with my past, make peace with my identity, and accept who I really am." The intent of the book is not only to recount a perilous yet amazing adventure, but to inspire people to look deeper into their roots, understand their early influences, and discover connections between past adversity and profound opportunity. "No matter how difficult your challenges, or how dire your situation seems, you have the power to navigate your own way through. You can build your own boat so you never have to miss one," writes Tran, who also delivers her motivational message to audiences as a TEDx guest and keynote speaker.

On April 30, 1975, the Hanoi government of North Vietnam took control over the South. South Vietnamese, particularly "intellectuals" and those thought to have been associated with the previous regime, underwent terrible punishment, persecution and "re-education." Seeking their freedom, thousands of South Vietnamese took to the sea in rickety boats, often with few supplies, and faced the dangers of nature, pirates, and starvation. While the sea and its danger claimed many lives, those who made it to the refugee camps still faced struggle and hardships in their quest for freedom. Here are collected the narratives of nineteen men and women who survived the ordeal of escape by sea. Today, they live in the United States as students, professors, entrepreneurs, scientists, and craftspeople who have chosen to tell the stories of their struggles and their triumph. Each narrative is accompanied by biographical information. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

This memoir vividly describes the struggle of one Vietnamese family and their seven day ordeal to escape persecution from Communist Vietnam. One of more than 840,000 “boat people” to have fled the war ravaged country, the author describes his family’s epic journey and the historical, cultural, social, economic, and political problems that led to his father’s decision to take his family away from their homeland. Drawing on his Catholic faith, Nguyen attests to the hardship and dangers that confronted the family in their journey and that did not end after his father died and the five children were forced to continue alone.

The narrative poem - Lament of The Boat People - and other single poems were written during the international news spread out on the dangerous situation of the Vietnamese boat people on the high seas and in the Gulf of Thailand in the late 70's. Please note that a narrative poem - Lament of The Boat People -- and the single poems were written in Vietnamese and later were translated into English by R. S. Carlson. Thu Ve Hoang Dao Ko Kra (a poem in Vietnamese) has not been translated into English yet. The essays were originally written in English in the mid 70's and 90's.

Two Minnows is among the Finalists in the 2020 International Book Awards in the military history category. This Memoir reads like an adventure novel even though it is the non-fiction real life story of a platoon leader of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam during the last few years of this complicated war. Once they start reading, it is difficult to stop, as readers have been "complaining."Being an officer of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam, he had experienced and witnessed the tragic fate the South Vietnamese had to go through when the RVN had to face a well-equipped (by China and the Soviet) well-trained unstoppable enemy while fighting with no ally support and limited supplies and ammunition. The war became unbalanced after the oppressive Paris Treated (designed by Pres. Nixon's tricky team) was signed and all allies had withdrawn. Knowing what the victors would do to the South, he decided to flee to wherever that had even a shred of Freedom, in spite of Peace coming at the door. He chose to abandon his own parental family and fail his cultural duties of an eldest son, which were to stay and take care of his aging parents and innocent siblings. His journey, as a political refugee, one of the first "boat people," took him thousands miles away in the Golf of Thailand on flimsy boats. Detailed accounts of how cheap life could be for refugees as if they had seemingly no more human rights. They had become as insignificant as little minnows. Nevertheless, with perseverance, like a phoenix being reborn, he was able to soar like a phoenix being reborn, relocating from the refugee camp of Malaysia to his new home of Minnesota. He dedicated 30 years of his new life to serving the kids and community of Minneapolis, and his retirement to voicing in support for those who had risked their well-being and life to save the Democracy of his "ancestral land Vietnam" : the Vietnam Veterans.
