Cr�ticas

While Lipman's introduction provides a clear, concise overview of the political and military situation in Vietnam, Tran's account is particularly noteworthy for elucidating the reasons these Vietnamese evacuees chose to repatriate to their homeland despite the opposition of both the U.S. and communist Vietnamese governments. . . . Highly recommended. [Starred review]-- "Library Journal" The memoir provides a searing account of the experiences of one such repatriate: Tran D nh Tru, a former Republic of Vietnam (RVN) naval officer who captained the ship that sailed the repatriates back to Vietnam.-- "Choice" Eloquent and intricate, the translation [by Bac Hoai Tran and Jana K. Lipman] brings non-Vietnamese speakers and readers a concise narrative that respects the palpability of Tran D nh Tru's struggles put in writing. Able word choices manage to evoke the same specific sentiments as the Vietnamese equivalent. . . . Specialists and non-specialists alike will find this translation into English enriching and useful; the historical elements along with the pull of betrayal, loss, and suspense make the memoir an informative and intriguing read. . . . Tru's narrative, along with its translation, contribute an important perspective that, while being indeed a Southern Vietnamese perspective, draws upon the complexities of political positions and sides rather than advocates them.-- "Southeast Asian Studies" Tru's story is told simply. Admirably so. Although the memoir necessarily tells the story from his political point of view, Tran D nh Tru does not resort to hyperbole. The prose in the translation is elegant and accessible to broad audiences, yet conveys an emotional tenor befitting the story. Ship of Fate adds an important voice to the Vietnam War literature.--Thu-huong Nguyen-vo, University of California, Los Angeles "Southeast Asian Studies"

Rese�a del editor

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.
