<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>It is a story of courage, brutality, heroism, betrayal, resilience, and hope.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Jane Hamilton-Merritt, Nobel-nominated scholar and photojournalist, has followed the plight of the Hmong and the war in Indochina since the 1960s. The staunchest of allies, the Hmong sided with the Americans against the North Vietnamese and were foot soldiers in the brutal secret war for Laos. Since the war, abandoned by their American allies, the Hmong have been subjected to a campaign of genocide by the North Vietnamese, including the use of chemical weapons. <i>Tragic Mountains</i> moves from the big picture of international diplomacy and power politics to the small villages and heroic engagements in the Lao jungle. It is a story of courage, brutality, heroism, betrayal, resilience, and hope.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>. . . a terrible, heartrending story of the savage and relentless Communist retributions against the Hmong for siding with the United States . . . compassionate, richly detailed . . .</p>-- "San Francisco Chronicle"<br><br><p>. . . absolutely gripping, haunting, compelling . . .</p>-- "Journal of American History"<br><br><p>. . . compelling . . . an absorbing book that will appeal to anyone with an interest in the 'secret' war in Laos and in the Hmong.</p>--C.
