Hope and Vanquished Reality

Hope and Vanquished Reality is a compelling story of hope with reflections on hope's ability to influence-and be influenced by-historical events. From his deep knowledge of Vietnamese culture and traditions, the author weaves a tapestry that presents a perspective that often contrasts with Western perspectives regarding the 25-year conflict called by some The Vietnam War and by others The American War in Viet-Nam. An engrossing story of hope in a person's life, the book is also an objective contribution to the understanding of a great collective tragedy of the 20th Century.
