Vietnam, January, 1968. As the citizens of Hue are preparing to
celebrate Tet, the start of the Lunar New Year, Nha Ca arrives in
the city to attend her father's funeral. Without warning, war
erupts all around them, drastically changing or cutting short their
lives. After a month of fighting, their beautiful city lies in
ruins and thousands of people are dead. Mourning Headband for Hue
tells the story of what happened during the fierce North Vietnamese
offensive and is an unvarnished and riveting account of war as
experienced by ordinary people caught up in the violence.
BLOODY MAMA BLUES captures the war behind the war in Vietnam.
Corruption, black market dealings, prostitution, drugs, and easy
money proved seductive to countless American soldiers. Lieutenant
Mike Hardy expects to serve an honorable tour of duty as an
infantry officer. Instead, he is thrown into a cauldron of evil.
BLOODY MAMA BLUES explores the underside of the Vietnam experience,
and the irreparable damage suffered by a generation of young men
and women.
