On April 30, 1975, the Hanoi government of North Vietnam took
control over the South. South Vietnamese, particularly
"intellectuals" and those thought to have been associated with the
previous regime, underwent terrible punishment, persecution and
"re-education." Seeking their freedom, thousands of South
Vietnamese took to the sea in rickety boats, often with few
supplies, and faced the dangers of nature, pirates, and starvation.
While the sea and its danger claimed many lives, those who made it
to the refugee camps still faced struggle and hardships in their
quest for freedom. Here are collected the narratives of nineteen
men and women who survived the ordeal of escape by sea. Today, they
live in the United States as students, professors, entrepreneurs,
scientists, and craftspeople who have chosen to tell the stories of
their struggles and their triumph. Each narrative is accompanied by
biographical information.
