Atlanta, Georgia: Longstreet Press, 1995. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. [12], 412, [8] pages. Map, Illustrations. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Includes Foreword by Griffin B. Bell, Formerly United States Attorney General. Also includes Acknowledgments by the author. Yung Krall (Vietnamese: ng M Dung; born 1946) is an American former spy born in Vietnam. Her autobiography, A Thousand Tears Falling, recounts her life growing up in the midst of the Vietnam War, as well as her life in America as a spy for the CIA, FBI, and NSA. Krall gained employment working for American vendors on a U.S. Navy base near Saigon where she met Lt. John Krall, a U.S. Navy pilot, whom she later married. The two of them moved to the United States. Using her background as a native Vietnamese, she worked with the CIA and FBI to bring down a communist Vietnamese subgroup and recruit members in the U.S. and Europe. She played a role in the capture and conviction of North Vietnamese spies Ronald Humphrey and David Truong. In exchange for her family's rescue from a falling Saigon, Yung became a spy for the CIA. The author is the first child of one of Viet Nam's most senior southern Communist cadres to come forth and share the intimate years of painful conflict within a family as the cost of competing political ideologies. Her father failed to transform her into a servant of the revolution, but instead he produced one of Viet Nam's more noted counterrevolutionaries. More

New York: Paragon House, 1991. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. 24 cm. xxvi, 389, [1] pages. Map. Bibliography. Index. Pencil erasure residue on front endpaper. Sensitive and powerful guide to help Vietnam veterans work through the grief and remorse of post-traumatic stress disorder, while offering those close to them insights into the veteran's anger, nightmares, and pain. Derived from a Library Journal review: Kuenning aims this recovery manual at Vietnam's living casualties: those plagued with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and their relatives. She sketches the historical background behind the war, but mostly recounts stories of emotionally and/or physically ravaged veterans--men/women soldiers, POWs, MIAs, Amerasians, and Agent Orange victims. Each chapter contains a bibliography and specific strategies for coping; appendixes include devotional readings and a sample memorial service. Her extensive research, clear writing, and sound advice on resolving grief and guilt is state-of-the-art psychology. Recommended for larger self-help collections. - Janice Arenofsky, formerly with Arizona State Library, Phoenix. More

Nguy n Cao K (8 September 1930 – 23 July 2011) served as the chief of the Republic of Vietnam Air Force in the 1960s, before leading the nation as the prime minister of South Vietnam in a military junta from 1965 to 1967. Then, until his retirement from politics in 1971, he served as vice president to bitter rival General Nguy n V n Thi u, in a nominally civilian administration. In 1964 K became prominent in junta politics, regarded as part of a group of young, aggressive officers dubbed the Young Turks. Over the next two years, there were repeated coup attempts, many of which were successful, and K was a key player in supporting or defeating them. In 2004, he became the first South Vietnamese leader to return, calling for reconciliation between communists and anti-communists. More

This study of the American fighting man provides graphic accounts of all the major and minor conflicts in American history. From the victory over the British at New Orleans in 1814, to the air battles over North Vietnam, the book provides close ups of the man in the line of battle. Part One provides graphic accounts of all the major and many of the minor conflicts in American history, with close-ups of the man in the line of battle--from the victory over the British at New Orleans in 1814, the American Civil War, the grueling battles with the Indians, to World War I and World War II. Part Two studies the psychology of the American fighting man, and points out the strange contrasts and contradictions in his mental and emotional make-up; his simplicity and cunning; his psychiatric problems; his sense of "martial' honor; his appetite for sex; his crime and racketeering; and his cowardice and heroism. Finally, the system that produces the American soldier today is closely examined--his role as the instrument of the "great defender" all over the world and the attitudes of the commanding generals.
