English Summary/英文概要： "Quang X. Pham’s memoir on parallel tracks-his life, and his family’s, in Vietnam and then America-is a story of hardship, separation, and loss, but ultimately also of courage, loyalty, patriotism and achievement, an inspiring human story movingly told." --Lewis Sorley, Author of "A Better War: The Unexamined Victories and Final Tragedy of America’s Last Years in Vietnam" "A Sense of Duty is a poignant story of two distant wars, service by father to South Vietnam and Marine son to the United States in the Persian Gulf, but ultimately it is a son’s tribute to his father and a way of saying "thank you" to all in his father’s generation who served honorably to defend freedom and whose story has yet to be told." --Larry Berman, author of No Peace, No Honor: Nixon, Kissinger and Betrayal in Vietnam In his singular memoir, Quang X. Pham examines a forgotten, unexplored tract of that purgatory of the American Dream known as Vietnam. His surprising account of family and war, sacrifice and redemption is essential for anyone who would seek to understand the legacy of that lost conflict and the generation-spanning turmoil to come in Iraq. Congratulations on a fine book.
