The Vietnam War actually began in December 1946 with a struggle
between the communists and the French for possession of the
country. Vietnam's strategic position in Southeast Asia along with
veiled economic concerns and a political agenda led to the
involvement of other countries, including the United States.
Written by an officer in the Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces, this
poignant memoir seeks to clarify the nuances of South Vietnam's
defeat. From the age of 12, Van Nguyen Duong watched as the
conflict affected his home, family, village and friends. He
discusses not only the day-to-day hardships he endured from forced
relocation and eventual imprisonment but also the anguish caused by
the illusive reality of Vietnamese independence.The various
political forces at work in Vietnam, the hardships suffered by
RVNAF soldiers after the 1975 U.S. withdrawal from Saigon, and the
effect of reunification on the Vietnamese people are also
discussed. An appendix contains a summary of the Eleven Point
Program Accords of January 1962.
