Book excerpt: 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 Nixon's tricky team) was signed and all allies had withdrawn.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.

Book excerpt: While working as an administrator in the Minneapolis high schools, the author sadly noticed how little of the Vietnam War was covered in World and US History, how distant the Vietnam Veterans were from their family and how silent the SE Asian Veterans were, waiting for time to go by. They all deserved better, and should not be in hiding. Because of its intricacy, it is important that the war be examined, not as a group of war events, but analyzed and explained through the lenses of historical cultures, socio-psychologies, and be based on each of those lenses to counter reference events. With that in mind, the author has combed through information gathered from all available sources and applied a newer inductive "qualitative research" approach addressing all relevant data no matter how seemingly unimportant it can be to triangulate a conclusion. The snapshot theory explains how images can affect human state of mind leaving un-erasable memories in PTSD cases. The Sun Tzu wisdom might have caught off-guard the US high command with the Western WW2 warfare. How GIs adapt to the new environment, the psychological conflict between the ARVN little soldiers and the strange Western warfare? can be clarified by Goleman's Brain theories and Maslow Hierarchy of Needs. How many times could the war be prevented? How had H? N?i used the news media and the rebelling Americans back home besides in Vietnam to sabotage and make its war plan? How had H? N?i pressured Pres. Nixon and Sec. Kissinger to bend and give in to Democratic Socialist Republic of Vietnam chief negotiator Lê ??c Th?'s demands when H? N?i was on the brink of surrendering? The War dissects it all in a more or less non-partisan way. The War is an essential impartial analytic documentary that war researchers, military academia, high school and college students, historians, veterans and family need to have in order to acquire a diverse overview of what a foreign war entails to.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two great social causes held center stage in American politics in the 1960s: the civil rights movement and the antiwar groundswell in the face of a deepening American military commitment in Vietnam. In Peace and Freedom, Simon Hall explores two linked themes: the civil rights movement's response to the war in Vietnam on the one hand and, on the other, the relationship between the black groups that opposed the war and the mainstream peace movement. Based on comprehensive archival research, the book weaves together local and national stories to offer an illuminating and judicious chronicle of these movements, demonstrating how their increasingly radicalized components both found common cause and provoked mutual antipathies. Peace and Freedom shows how and why the civil rights movement responded to the war in differing ways—explaining black militants' hostility toward the war while also providing a sympathetic treatment of those organizations and leaders reluctant to take a stand. And, while Black Power, counterculturalism, and left-wing factionalism all made interracial coalition-building more difficult, the book argues that it was the peace movement's reluctance to link the struggle to end the war with the fight against racism at home that ultimately prevented the two movements from cooperating more fully. Considering the historical relationship between the civil rights movement and foreign policy, Hall also offers an in-depth look at the history of black America's links with the American left and with pacifism. With its keen insights into one of the most controversial decades in American history, Peace and Freedom recaptures the immediacy and importance of the time.

His story is gripping.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marigold presents the first rigorously documented, in-depth story of one of the Vietnam War's last great mysteries: the secret peace initiative, codenamed "Marigold," that sought to end the war in 1966. The initiative failed, the war dragged on for another seven years, and this episode sank into history as an unresolved controversy. Antiwar critics claimed President Johnson had bungled (or, worse, deliberately sabotaged) a breakthrough by bombing Hanoi on the eve of a planned secret U.S.-North Vietnamese encounter in Poland. Yet, LBJ and top aides angrily insisted that Poland never had authority to arrange direct talks and Hanoi was not ready to negotiate. This book uses new evidence from long hidden communist sources to show that, in fact, Poland was authorized by Hanoi to open direct contacts and that Hanoi had committed to entering talks with Washington. It reveals LBJ's personal role in bombing Hanoi as he utterly disregarded the pleas of both the Polish and his own senior advisors. The historical implications of missing this opportunity are immense: Marigold might have ended the war years earlier, saving thousands of lives, and dramatically changed U.S. political history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1973, Henry Kissinger shared the Nobel Peace Prize for the secret negotiations that led to the Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam. Nixon famously declared the 1973 agreement to be "peace with honor"; America was disengaging, yet South Vietnam still stood to fight its own war. Kissinger promptly moved to seal up his personal records of the negotiations, arguing that they are private, not government, records, and that he will only allow them to be unsealed after his death. No Peace, No Honor deploys extraordinary documentary bombshells, including a complete North Vietnamese account of the secret talks, to blow the lid off the true story of the peace process. Neither Nixon and Kissinger's critics, nor their defenders, have guessed at the full truth: the entire peace negotiation was a sham. Nixon did not plan to exit Vietnam, but he knew that in order to continue bombing without a congressional cutoff, he would need a fig leaf. Kissinger negotiated a deal that he and Nixon expected the North to violate. Ironically, their long-maintained spin on what happened next is partially true: only Watergate stopped America from sending the bombers back in. This revelatory book has many other surprises. Berman produces new evidence that finally proves a long-suspected connection between candidate Nixon in 1968 and the South Vietnamese government. He tells the full story of Operation Duck Hook, a large-scale offensive planned by Nixon as early as 1969 that would have widened the war even to the point of bombing civilian food supplies. He reveals transcripts of candidate George McGovern's attempts to negotiate his own October surprise for 1972, and a seriocomic plan by the CIA to overthrow South Vietnam's President Thieu even as late as 1975. Throughout, with page-turning dialogue provided by official transcriptions and notes, Berman reveals the step-by-step betrayal of South Vietnam that started with a short-circuited negotiations loop, and ended with double-talk, false promises, and outright abandonment. Berman draws on hundreds of declassified documents, including the notes of Kissinger's aides, phone taps of the Nixon campaign in 1968, and McGovern's own transcripts of his negotiations with North Vietnam. He has been able to double- and triple-check North Vietnamese accounts against American notes of meetings, as well as previously released bits of the record. He has interviewed many key players, including high-level South Vietnamese officials. This definitive account forever and completely rewrites the final chapter of the Vietnam war. Henry Kissinger's Nobel Prize was won at the cost of America's honor.

But the humanity of all the mythical legend to cultivate the human spirit to reach the true..(Le Souverain Bien ) I were born in a free country that is just the beginning of even a limited democracy, but socio-economic development on track to prosperity, a period of peaceful prosperity of South Vietnam, but happiness seems to like throughout the course of history is just a glance of Vietnamese peopleWar strikes down on both North and South Vietnam, the war brought to what most civilized but also take away from what most so-called civilized 'culture is what remains after you have forgotten everything' but war is what remains after the shooting and no separate peace in Vietnam when it fell into tragic grace to resentment by the hatred of revenge. The dream of the war ended, on a permanent peace song, those cases include the killing of each other. Can not talk forever ' new wine old bottle', not the name of anything to kill. Murder , whether any reason, it is a crime! 'Everyone is my brother'! If let's start together, instead of crushing people, save the world! Instead of sensitive desire to true love!

Book excerpt: "Nine U.S. activists discuss the parts they played in opposing the war at home and their risky travels to Vietnam in the midst of the conflict to engage in people-to-people diplomacy. In 2013, the 'Hanoi 9' activists revisited Vietnam together; this book presents their thoughtful reflections on those experiences, as well as the stories of five U.S. veterans who returned to make reparations. Their successes in antiwar organizing will challenge the myths that still linger from that era, and inspire a new generation seeking peaceful solutions to war and conflict today"--

Book excerpt: The defeat of South Vietnam was arguably America’s worst foreign policy disaster of the 20th Century. Yet a complete understanding of the endgame—from the 27 January 1973 signing of the Paris Peace Accords to South Vietnam’s surrender on 30 April 1975—has eluded us. Black April addresses that deficit. A culmination of exhaustive research in three distinct areas: primary source documents from American archives, North Vietnamese publications containing primary and secondary source material, and dozens of articles and numerous interviews with key South Vietnamese participants, this book represents one of the largest Vietnamese translation projects ever accomplished, including almost one hundred rarely or never seen before North Vietnamese unit histories, battle studies, and memoirs. Most important, to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of South Vietnam’s conquest, the leaders in Hanoi released several compendiums of formerly highly classified cables and memorandum between the Politburo and its military commanders in the south. This treasure trove of primary source materials provides the most complete insight into North Vietnamese decision-making ever complied. While South Vietnamese deliberations remain less clear, enough material exists to provide a decent overview. Ultimately, whatever errors occurred on the American and South Vietnamese side, the simple fact remains that the country was conquered by a North Vietnamese military invasion despite written pledges by Hanoi’s leadership against such action. Hanoi’s momentous choice to destroy the Paris Peace Accords and militarily end the war sent a generation of South Vietnamese into exile, and exacerbated a societal trauma in America over our long Vietnam involvement that reverberates to this day. How that transpired deserves deeper scrutiny.
