A baby is born into unimaginable horror and distress during the most heartbreaking war in history. Barely escaping death in Vietnam, he is brought to America and must learn to overcome torment and abuse. When his father travels to Vietnam to fight in the war, loneliness and fear are the only emotions he knows until he falls in love with a beautiful Vietnamese woman. Blinded by his love for her, he never sees the hatred she really feels for him and their newborn son until it is too late. There is more to the Vietnam experience than our sadness and loss. Secrets were produced by this war; secrets that were rejected, tormented, abandoned and left to die. The secrets are the war babies, the children of war who became victims. They know devastation, loss and sadnesssuch that you cannot imagine.

Saigon 1969. From the moment Hugh Webb arrives at the Hashish Hilton, as a green freelance reporter, he knows he has found his true vocation. In Sean Ryan, combat photographer, legend and lover, he finds his lifelong mentor, friend - and nemesis. It's Ryan that gets him through his first months in a war zone, Through the jungles and paddy fields and long black nights huddled in bunkers in the Highlands he teaches him how to stay alive. But then Sean Ryan does something that Webb can never forgive - he seduces a Vietnamese novice, gets her pregnant - and then leaves behind when Saigon falls. He didn't care that Ryan never meant for it to happen - the fact was, it did. By the time Webb ends up in the eighties' Number Four War in El Salvador he's an accredited journalist living in five star hotels. But this time the government - whoever the hell they are - doesn't want him there. When his photographer loses his nerve, his newspaper sends him a new photographer - the last man he ever wanted to see again. Sean Ryan. Captured by FMLN guerrillas, they see the war from the rebel side this time. But the truce between Ryan and Webb is never going to last long - especially when there's a woman involved. He later risks his life getting Ryan out - but that doesn't mean anything is forgiven or forgotten. But the past is never done - and finally Webb crosses the line, he finally makes one of his stories personal, in the shape of a teenage Vietnamese refugee. But who is she , really? As she grows it becomes clear that Webb's finding her is no co-incidence. And when Webb is finally lured out of retirement all the questions of the past are finally laid to rest in the freezing mountains of Bosnia.

Rachel Booker has a difficult start in life. When her father dies, deep in gambling debt, her mother must harden herself to make ends meet, but becomes so hard she has little room left for affection or warmth. Mother and daughter work at the open market in Birmingham, selling second-hand clothes or whatever they can find just to put a little food on the table. But the market has a silver lining: it's there that Rachel makes her first childhood friend, Danny. As they grow older, the friendship grows into something more and their innocent romance gives Rachel the care and comfort she's always craved. But at just sixteen, as World War II breaks out, Rachel falls pregnant. They marry in haste but it isn't long before Danny is called up. Left on the home front with a new baby and little else, Rachel must scrape by with the other residents of Sparkbrook. But if Danny ever makes it home, will he be the same boy she loved so fiercely? And if Rachel can sustain the family until then, will she end up as hard-hearted as her own mother? Annie Murray's War Babies is a moving and insightful novel about hardships on the home front and how the war changed everybody it touched . . .

A compelling and shocking story that is all the more effective because it is true. Born during the War and growing up in the post war years, the writer takes you on a journey that surprises and shocks. The loss of his young Father is the catalyst that leads the author as a young boy along a path of trauma and despair and into life as a reclusive introvert, unable to function on a normal day to day basis. The Mother re-marries with terrible consequences, and any hope for the future is dashed when the reader witnesses the virtual destruction of the author as a child, as the step Father emerges as a paedophile with a most surprising and awful background. The author grows into a wayward child and a disturbed teenager, making some terrible mistakes along the way. He emerges from this virtual psychological prison that contains him, and for the first time discovers enjoyment, enjoyment in music, Rock n Roll and the guitar. The music offers him an escape from his painful background and he struggles at every opportunity to learn to play the guitar and become more than just proficient. After secretly practising, improving and playing with various bands, he eventually travels the world in a band with a number one hit record. The author lurches from one success to another but it is not enough. His hunger for life is fuelled by working in more bands, hard drinking and experimenting with drugs. A crossroads is reached when there is a choice; music or karate. The karate was started as a conduit for his energy and his frustration with the music business. A decision is made and he diverts his energies from music into a totally new venture, starting karate classes and eventually gaining his Black Belt. A karate club is created almost accidentally, and the club goes from strength to strength producing champions and award winning teams. More clubs are started, and other clubs impressed by the dynamics and professionalism of the core clubs, successfully join the newly formed karate group - Shotokan Karate England. The book is a shocking testimonial to paedophilia but a brilliant testimonial to overcoming adversity and trauma in one's life. The story is one of determination not to be beaten, and inspiration can be taken by all of those who read this incredible but true story.

Donna Seto investigates why children born of wartime sexual violence are rarely included in post-conflict processes of reconciliation and recovery. The focus on children born of wartime sexual violence questions the framework of understanding war and recognizes that certain individuals are often forgotten or neglected. This book considers how children are neglected sites for the reproduction of global norms. It approaches this topic through an interdisciplinary perspective that questions how silence surrounding the issue of wartime sexual violence has prevented justice for children born of war from being achieved. In considering this, Seto examines how the theories and practices of mainstream International Relations (IR) can silence the experiences of war rape survivors and children born of wartime sexual violence and explores the theoretical frameworks within IR and the institutional structures that uphold protection regimes for children and women.

War Baby / Love Child examines hybrid Asian American identity through a collection of essays, artworks, and interviews at the intersection of critical mixed race studies and contemporary art. The book pairs artwork and interviews with 19 emerging, mid-career, and established mixed race/mixed heritage Asian American artists, including Li-lan and Kip Fulbeck, with scholarly essays exploring such topics as Vietnamese Amerasians, Korean transracial adoptions, and multiethnic Hawai'i. As an increasingly ethnically ambiguous Asian American generation is coming of age in an era of "optional identity," this collection brings together first-person perspectives and a wider scholarly context to shed light on changing Asian American cultures. This multiauthor volume features a foreward by Kent A. Ono, a co-authored preface and introductory essay by the editors, 19 original artist interviews conducted by the editors, and original essays from Wei Ming Dariotis and the contributing authors: Camilla Fojas, Stuart Gaffney, Rudy Guevarra, Jr., Eleana J. Kim, Richard Lou, Margo Machida, Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu, Lori Pierce, Cathy J. Schlund-Vials, Ken Tanabe, and Wendy Thompson-Taiwo. Laura Kina is associate professor of art, media, and design at DePaul University. Wei Ming Dariotis is associate professor of Asian American studies at San Francisco State University. "War Baby / Love Child is an interesting, original, and innovative project that expands the field of Asian American studies by using visual art as a point of entry and analysis for the discipline." -Mark Johnson, editor of Asian American Art: A History, 1850-1970 "One of the strengths of this original volume is its holistic combination of interviews with premier fine artists along with the textual, historical, and scholarly context provided by established and emerging scholars in Asian American Studies." -Nitasha Sharma, author of Hip Hop Desis: South Americans, Blackness, and Global Race Consciousness
