Title: Well-illustrated account of the reeducation camps.
Product review: Three long years (1976-1979) in the communist reeducation camps of Da Ban and A-30 have opened the eyes of this former South Vietnamese Liaison Officer to U.S. Forces in Vietnam. Had he told the communists about his former association with the U.S. Forces, he would have been suspected of being a CIA agent, therefore, kept in jail much longer.He wrote about the 10 hour-a-day and 7-day-week-work under adverse conditions (rain, typhoon), the 200 grams of rice daily ration, the constant beating he and the other inmates had suffered, and the tribulations they endured after their release. Details about life in communist Vietnam are supported by graphic illustrations.This is a difficult topic to write about and Lu Thanh has done a great job in conveying to the reader his feelings about this forced incarceration, the mistreatment he has endured, and his difficult escape by boat out of Vietnam during which he almost lost his life.
