Very little has been written about the U.S. Navy in Vietnam in the immediate post-Korean War era, nor has the magnitude of American participation in the resettlement of Vietnam refugees following the 1954 Geneva Conference been explored. Beginning in the fall of 1954, U.S. Navy ships, as a part of Task Force 90, helped to relocate thousands of displaced North Vietnamese to South Vietnam following the separation of the nation at the 17th parallel. What those sailors accomplished during the three hundred days of Operation Passage to Freedom forever changed the lives of more than 310,000 Vietnamese who traveled on their ships. In Operation Passage to Freedom Ronald B. Frankum, Jr. recounts the events surrounding this enormous humanitarian evacuation that was the American military's first major involvement with the Vietnamese people. Based on archival research and interviews with more than forty sailors who participated in Task Force 90, Operation Passage to Freedom illuminates a mission that has been all but forgotten and also explores how the initial humanitarian involvement of the United States in Vietnam eventually led to massive military involvement in the 1960s and 1970s.

This is not a collection of war stories. Nor is it about the significant events of Vietnam during that year; it¿s about the everyday events, everyday people, and the places that have remained with me all these years. When I think of Vietnam, my mind wanders to a Chinese man and his three sons who drove around in a white Datsun pick-up, or a fearless US Navy salt with a rubberized face who liked to sing sea chanteys, or an old Vietnamese man after losing his son in a fire fight, or a young Vietnamese girl who carried cement bags on her shoulders. It is strange but it¿s the insignificant things that the mind seems to retain while it glosses over the major ones. The insignificant becomes the significant with the passage of time.

A raw, powerful account of an infantryman's life during wartime -- complete with all the horrors and the heroism . . . Robert Peterson arrived in Vietnam in the fall of 1966, a young American ready to serve his country and seize his destiny. What happened in that jungle war would change his life forever. Peterson vividly relives the tense patrols in the Viet Cong -- infested Central Highlands, the fierce firefights along the Cambodian border, the ambushes and enemy charges. Daily he and his fellow grunts put their lives on the line, forced to blindly follow orders from higher-ups solely interested in reaping their own personal glory. Yet out of the deadly hell of Vietnam came a brotherhood -- forged in blood and courage, sacrifice and survival -- of men who continuously risked their lives for one another, whatever the odds. Rites of Passage is a shining testament to their valor.

When he left war-ravaged Vietnam some thirty years ago, journalist David Lamb averred "I didn't care if I ever saw the wretched country again." But in 1997, he found himself living in Hanoi, in charge of the Los Angeles Times's first peacetime bureau and in the midst of a country on the move, as it progresses toward a free-market economy and divorces itself from the restrictive, isolationist policies established at the end of the war. This was a new country; in Vietnam, Now, David Lamb brings it--and us--forward from its dark, distant past. From the myriad personalities entwined in the dark, distant history of the war to those focused toward the future, Lamb reveals a rich and culturally diverse people as they share their memories of the country's past, and their hopes for a peacetime future. A portrait of a beautiful country and a remarkable, determined people, Vietnam, Now is a personal journey that will change the way we think of Vietnam, and perhaps the war as well.
