Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - 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.

Download or read book Surviving Twice written by Trin Yarborough and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-05-27 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surviving Twice is the story of five Vietnamese Amerasians born during the Vietnam War to American soldiers and Vietnamese mothers. Unfortunately, they were not among the few thousand Amerasian children who came to the United States before the war's end and grew up as Americans, speaking English and attending American schools. Instead, this group of Amerasians faced much more formidable obstacles, both in Vietnam and in their new home. Surviving Twice raises significant questions about how mixed-race children born of wars and occupations are treated and the ways in which the shifting laws, policies, social attitudes, and bureaucratic red tape of two nations affect them their entire lives.

Book excerpt: Jimmy Toscano was smart, talented, and the rock in his family. When he was drafted to serve in the Vietnam War at age twenty-two, he willingly accepted the request from Uncle Sam. After all, Jimmy, who was always up for a challenge, was full of life, drive, and a determination to make the world a better place. In a posthumous collection of poems, Jimmy leads others down a lyrical path through the experiences he endured during the Vietnam War as he fought alongside over two million other soldiers, and after as he returned to an unwelcoming America. Jimmys poems shine a light on the effects war has on a soldiers family, what it is like to stare death in the face, the brutality of combat, how the war transformed energetic young men into broken souls, and the challenges that accompanied their return home as they learned to battle a new enemy: the haunting memories of war. Surviving Vietnam shares poignant and candid poems from a war veteran that expose the realities of the battlefield and beyond.

Book excerpt: A candid memoir of being sent to Vietnam at age nineteen, witnessing the carnage of Hamburger Hill, and returning to an America in turmoil. Arthur Wiknik was a teenager from New England when he was drafted into the US Army in 1968, shipping out to Vietnam early the following year. Shortly after his arrival on the far side of the world, he was assigned to Camp Evans near the northern village of Phong Dien, only thirty miles from Laos and North Vietnam. On his first jungle patrol, his squad killed a female Viet Cong who turned out to have been the local prostitute. It was the first dead person he had ever seen. Wiknik's account of life and death in Vietnam includes everything from heavy combat to faking insanity to get some R & R. He was the first in his unit to reach the top of Hamburger Hill, and between sporadic episodes of combat, he mingled with the locals; tricked unwitting US suppliers into providing his platoon with hard-to-get food; defied a superior and was punished with a dangerous mission; and struggled with himself and his fellow soldiers as the antiwar movement began to affect them. Written with honesty and sharp wit by a soldier who was featured on a recent History Channel documentary about Vietnam, Nam Sense spares nothing and no one in its attempt to convey what really transpired for the combat soldier during this unpopular war. It is not about glory, mental breakdowns, flashbacks, or self-pity. The GIs Wiknik lived and fought with during his yearlong tour were not drug addicts or war criminals or gung-ho killers. They were there to do their duty as they were trained, support their comrades—and get home alive. Recipient of an Honorable Mention from the Military Writers Society of America.

Download or read book Re-Membering and Surviving written by Shirley A. James Hanshaw and published by Michigan State University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book-length critical study of the black experience in the Vietnam War and its aftermath, this text interrogates the meaning of heroism based on models from African and African American expressive culture. It focuses on four novels: Captain Blackman (1972) by John A. Williams, Tragic Magic (1978) by Wesley Brown, Coming Home (1971) by George Davis, and De Mojo Blues (1985) by A. R. Flowers. Discussions of the novels are framed within the historical context of all wars prior to Vietnam in which Black Americans fought. The success or failure of the hero on his identity quest is predicated upon the extent to which he can reconnect with African or African American cultural memory. He is engaged therefore in “re-membering,” a term laden with the specificity of race that implies a cultural history comprised of African retentions and an interdependent relationship with the community for survival. The reader will find that a common history of racism and exploitation that African Americans and Vietnamese share sometimes results in the hero’s empathy with and compassion for the so-called enemy, a unique contribution of the black novelist to American war literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After serving a 1 1⁄2 year tour in Vietnam with the 1st Cavalry Division and surviving a total of 8 years, 9 months and 21 Days in the US Army, Russ Warriner learned he had PTSD. Dealing with the Combat Memories he calls Combat Demons is a lifelong struggle. Writing about my combat life and the aftermath has become one of his outlets. Becoming a life member of many veteran groups as well as starting a group that served in my type of unit and starting a POW/MIA weekend event has served me well to deal with the demons. Everyone who has PTSD deals with these demons in their own way. If this book can help at least one person to understand PTSD or help them deal with their demons, I feel it was worth the effort I put into writing it.

Book excerpt: Surviving Vietnam is a true story based on the experiences of a Polish American serving in the Marine Special Forces in the Vietnam War. The child of a Polish P.O.W., "The Ancient One," as he is referred to, chronicles his experiences and details life in War. It is an unfiltered first-hand account of his experiences; from his background, Marine Corps Training, working with the CIA and the daily job of surviving in a torrential environment. He details the things he witnessed, injuries incurred, being shot, captured, tortured by the enemy, and adjusting back to civilian life to a public who was anything but welcoming and appreciative. Vietnam is referred to as the lost War; the one many try to forget. It is important to remember these men and to show them that their stories are not ones to be lost in time but to be valued and learned from.
