The fall of Saigon in 1975 triggered an exodus of 2 million persons
in search of freedom. "The Vietnamese Mayflowers of 1975" tells the
experiences of a group of professionals who left their homeland
under dire situations. Now well adjusted within a diverse American
society, they identify themselves with the Mayflower pilgrims as
they too crossed the seas in search of freedom. For anyone with an
interest in Vietnam and her people, this book will be a source of
information and inspirations. "The Vietnamese Mayflowers of 1975"is
about growing up within a culturally vibrant South Vietnamese
society, about a uniquely enriching wartime medical education,
about losing the only world and life that one ever knew, about
surviving the rigors of reeducation camps, about embarking onto
dangerous odysseys, and about the poignant rebuilding of
professional lives. Written by people who actually lived the
events, this historic documentary is complemented with synopses of
Vietnamese culture and history, descriptions of a peaceful way of
life before the winds of war, and recollections of an American
Professor assisting medical education in Saigon. The book also
contains emotional accounts of the younger Vietnamese-Americans to
define their lives and rediscover their roots. Striving to maintain
the book's uniqueness and preserve its veracity by avoiding strong
political overtones, the Editors hope that the book will entertain,
inform and inspire.
