Worth my reading time!, August 14, 2004
This review is from: The will of heaven : a story of one Vietnamese and the end of his world (Hardcover)
I still wonder why this book was never written in Vietnamese. The story of Mr. Ngan is quiet intriguing and lots of other vietnamese refugees can relate to his escape to freedom. I am personally touched by his account because I attended the high school he mentioned in the book and also that he used to work where my father also was employed. The writing is sincere and fascinating. I highly recommend to those who are curious about what happened to the vanquished after the fall of South Vietnam. The miseries they went through would be material for any excellent non-fictions. I admire the courage the author displayed and feel very sorry for the loss of his wife and kid.

This review is from: The will of heaven : a story of one Vietnamese and the end of his world (Hardcover)
We left South Vietnam in 1972. We left with promises we never kept to the South Vietnamese. The Russians resupplied the NVA and the NVA conquered the South in traditional military style in violation of the Paris Peace Accords. Ngan story of how his life and family were destroyed by the North Vietnamese Communist take over will make your heart break.
