Customer Rating: Summary: This book tought me a lot about my ancestors and our culture Comment: What Laos, Thais, Vietnamise, Chiense has done to us Hmongs doesn't that we will stop fighting. Just because we don't have a land why can't we share like the Native's. Hmongs are stronger than ever now than in history. This book is about Laos, thais, vietnamese and chinese pushing us away and finally we resettle in the u.s. but there are alot more hmongs in the reguee camps. Customer Rating: Summary: This book is chillfully accurate and educational. Comment: This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to know what the Vietnam War was like from the perspectives of the Hmong people.
