Ship of Fate tells the emotionally gripping story of a Vietnamese
military officer who evacuated from Saigon in 1975 but made the
dramatic decision to return to Vietnam for his wife and children,
rather than resettle in the United States without them. Written in
Vietnamese in the years just after 1991, when he and his family
finally immigrated to the United States, Tran Dinh Tru's memoir
provides a detailed and searing account of his individual trauma as
a refugee in limbo, and then as a prisoner in the Vietnamese
reeducation camps. In April 1975, more than 120,000 Indochinese
refugees sought and soon gained resettlement in the United States.
Given the chaos of the evacuation, however, approximately 1,500
Vietnamese men and women insisted in no uncertain terms on being
repatriated back to Vietnam. Tru was one of these repatriates. To
resolve the escalating crisis, the U.S. government granted the
Vietnamese a large ship, the Viet Nam Thuong Tin. An experienced
naval commander, Tru became the captain of the ship and sailed the
repatriates back to Vietnam in October 1975. On return, Tru was
imprisoned and underwent forced labor for more than twelve years.
Tru's account reveals a hidden history of refugee camps on Guam,
internal divisions among Vietnamese refugees, political disputes
between the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the
U.S. government, and the horror of the postwar "reeducation" camps.
While there are countless books on the U.S. war in Vietnam, there
are still relatively few in English that narrate the war from a
Vietnamese perspective. This translation adds new and unexpected
dimensions to the U.S. military's final withdrawal from Vietnam.
