Book Description
Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with external stickers. Stamps and stickers on inside pages. Some preliminary pages have tiny tears to the tail edge of the page - this might be a consequence of the heavy weight of the book.
Vietnamese migrants from around Australia share, in their own words, stories, photos, letters and ephemera. Includes interviews and photos by the journalists and photo journalists who covered the mass migration of Vietnamese from their country in the years after the Vietnam War.
What was unique about the Vietnam Exodus was that the only route of escape for over a million people was by sea across open water. One in three boat people never completed their journey to safety.
This book captures the human stories of people fleeing danger and terror in their own lands, their experiences on the perilous sea journey, time spent in island camps as refugees, and their final journey to their new adopted homeland.
