"An absorbing and moving autobiography...An important addition not only to the literature of Vietnam but to the larger human story of hope, violence and disillusion in the political life of our era."—Chicago Tribune When he was a student in Paris, Truong Nhu Tang met Ho Chi Minh. Later he fought in the Vietnamese jungle and emerged as one of the major figures in the "fight for liberation"—and one of the most determined adversaries of the United States. He became the Vietcong's Minister of Justice, but at the end of the war he fled the country in disillusionment and despair. He now lives in exile in Paris, the highest level official to have defected from Vietnam to the West. This is his candid, revealing and unforgettable autobiography.

- A riveting real-life story set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Vietnam War. - A vivid, sweeping memoir of a lifetime of love continuously tested yet strengthened through four decades of war and terror; a love which endured, survived and unequivocally triumphed - A rare, never-told-before, war account by in-the-trenches Vietnamese war correspondents. Authors Duong Phuc & Vu Thanh Thuy, in their own words:... "We began the first lines of this memoir in November 1979 on a police boat heading to Songkhla Refugee camp. We had just been rescued by a United Nations representative after 21 days in captivity by sea pirates on a deserted island in the Gulf of Thailand. ...We are reporters, not fiction writers. We simply want to honestly record the facts of what we heard and saw firsthand on the gruesome battlefront, in the communist re-education camps, and on the open sea. Sometimes the truth surpasses anything in the human imagination. We truthfully present everything-episodes of stark, unbearable terror along with strange, unbelievable turns of fortune; the worst of human flaws as well as acts of kindness suddenly performed by the most despicable of people-to balance fairly the good and bad that can be found in human beings. We attempt to declare the mystery of life and the human heart that gives birth to hope even when fortune and misfortune become unexpectedly mixed up and change places in an instant. ...Nearly forty years have passed from the day we first began writing in the notebook on the Gulf of Thailand. Our hair is gray now, but we finished the book at last." ------------"Sometimes the truth surpasses anything in the human imagination."------------- Upon arrival in the United States, the authors were interviewed, among many more, by Barbara Walters & Hugh Downs in "A Mission of Mercy", Oprah Winfrey brought the children on the show "The Dignity of Children" on NBC, etc. VU THANH THUY: Senior Fellow, American Leadership Forum - Thought Leader, Images & Voices of HopeBoard Member, American Red Cross, Board Member, New American Media, Board Member, IMD, Mission Member: Katrina Hurricane, Haiti Earthquake, Japan Tsunami, Thailand Tsunami, Philippines Yolanda Typhoon, Cambodia child-sex mission.

“Our mission continues . . . Until They Are Home!”—Motto of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command At the end of the Vietnam War—or American War, as it is called in Hanoi—2,585 Americans were unaccounted for in Southeast Asia. In 1992, a joint task force was established to continue the work of recovery, and its members became the first U.S. government representatives to return full-time to Vietnam. Army Lt. Col. Thomas (“Ty”) Smith arrived in Hanoi a decade later, in 2003. Until They Are Home is both a heartfelt memoir and a fascinating inside look at his tour of duty in Vietnam, “a place of shadows within shadows, secrets within secrets." Smith takes the reader on an extraordinary personal voyage from the shaded French boulevards of Hanoi to the remotest jungle trails of the border highlands. Written with a keen eye and touches of humor, Until They Are Home recounts life in the very heart of the mission to find and return to the families the remains of their loved ones. It offers equal parts historical context, political insight, social commentary, travelogue, and adventure chronicle. From describing everything from his diplomatic negotations between the Vietnamese and American governments to presenting his view of commanding a remarkably complex mission in an unforgiving environment, Smith draws on memory, e-mails, letters, and journal entries to recreate the story of his mission in Vietnam. Smith and the forces serving under him found the remains of fourteen lost American servicemen—including two graduates of Texas A&M University. The gripping, intensely personal narrative of Until They Are Home will fascinate general readers interested in the Vietnam War and its aftermath and will prove helpful to historians seeking primary information. It will also have great appeal to those with continuing involvement in POW/MIA issues and concerns.

For Victor Hugo, the nineteenth century could be remembered by only its first two years, which established peace in Europe and France's supremacy on the continent. For General Lam Quang Thi, the twentieth century had only twenty-five years: from 1950 to 1975, during which the Republic of Vietnam and its Army grew up and collapsed with the fall of Saigon. This is the story of those twenty-five years. General Thi fought in the Indochina War as a battery commander on the side of the French. When Viet Minh aggression began after the Geneva Accords, he served in the nascent Vietnamese National Army, and his career covers this army's entire lifespan. He was deputy commander of the 7th Infantry Division, and in 1965 he assumed command of the 9th Infantry Division. In 1966, at the age of thirty-three, he became one of the youngest generals in the Vietnamese Army. He participated in the Tet Offensive before being removed from the front lines for political reasons. When North Vietnam launched the 1972 Great Offensive, he was brought back to the field and eventually promoted to commander of an Army Corps Task Force along the Demilitarized Zone. With the fall of Saigon, he left Vietnam and emigrated to the United States. Like his tactics during battle, General Thi pulls no punches in his denunciation of the various regimes of the Republic, and complacency and arrogance toward Vietnam in the policies of both France and the United States. Without lapsing into bitterness, this is finally a tribute to the soldiers who fell on behalf of a good cause.
