More than 130,000 South Vietnamese fled their homeland at the end
of the Vietnam War. Tens of thousands landed on the island of Guam
on their way to the U.S. Many remained there. Guamanians and U.S.
military personnel welcomed them. Funded by a $405 million
Congressional appropriation, Operation New Life was among the most
intensive humanitarian efforts ever accomplished by the U.S.
government, with the help of the people of Guam. Without it, many
evacuees would have died somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. This book
chronicles a part of the first mass migration of Vietnamese "boat
people," before and after the fall of Saigon in April 1975-a story
still unfolding almost half a century later.
