VIETNAM JOURNEY: TEN YEARS IN VIETNAM
Book ID/图书代码: 11701513B60459
English Summary/英文概要: This book in paperback print is not in the cagegory of Philip Capoto’s excellent Rumor of War, and it is not comparable to Tim O’Brien’s If I Die in a Combat Zone Box Me Up and Ship Me Home, and his The Things They Carried. The book is not near in the league with great historical writers of the period Stanley Karnow’s Vietnam: A History, Cruel April by Oliver Todd nor Neil Sheen’s Bright and Shining Lie or for that matter Frank Snep’s superbly told final tragic days of a falling Saigon, Indecent Interval. I have certainly enjoyed reading and learning from these titians. But my tome does however have a small place in the gym lockers and in the beach bags of a few of the curious millions of soldiers and civilians who served in Vietnam while supporting the men who actually shed blood in the jungles for their country. Those that left prior to March 1973 derserve to know how events turned out from someone who was there with his family right up to those few days before the last American plane and helicopter took off. This story is of a family arrived ten years before South Vietnam’s final days. It is about how we lived, worked, grew and survived in a country that was headed toward ingnominious defeat. I tell how we got there, the initial laborious effort by well meaning dedicated personnel to save a fledging third world kind of democracy from its suicidal course. The Tet Offensive, mini-Tet, and the collapse of the northern provinces of South Vietnam take up much of the story. I write of the unapararent day-to-day dangers and the corruption faced. I tell of the reluctance of people to get behind a distored and dishonest regime. As for the millions of Vietnamese on both sides who died during the conflict, and sadly 58,000 American military personnel, I can only voice the words of veteran Senator Max Cleveland ’Good Soldier, Bad War." Let us hope and pray the United States has with finality learned from its strategic mistakes that caused so much suffering by those many involved.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 这本印在纸上的书不是Philip Capoto的优秀传闻战争的目录,它不能与蒂姆•奥布莱恩的《如果我死在战场上:将我装起来并送回家》和《士兵的重负》相媲美。这本书并不贴近联赛中伟大的历史作家时期,Stanley Karnow的《越南:一段历史》,Oliver Todd的《残酷的四月》,Neil Sheen的《明亮闪耀的谎言》,对于这个问题,Frank Snep告诉下降的西贡的最终悲惨日子,不雅的间隔。当然,我也喜欢阅读和学习这些。但我有一小地方的健身房储物柜和在越南服役的数以百万计的士兵和平民的沙滩袋,然而支持那些真正在丛林中为自己的国家抛头颅洒热血的。那些在1973年3月前离开的人应该知道是怎么从何和家人在一起转变到那些最后美国飞机和直升机起飞的日子。这个故事是南越十年前一个家庭的故事。它讲了关于我们如何在一个走向耻辱失败的国家生活,工作,成长和生存,我讲述了我们如何到达那里,善意专职人员的最初的艰苦努力,来救活一个走向自杀的刚起步的第三世界民主。这个故事主要讲述了春节时的攻势,迷你春节和越南南方北部省份的崩溃。
我写了一天天所面临的危险和腐败。我讲述了那些不愿在背后进行不诚实政权的人。当双方有数以百万计的越南人在冲突中死亡,有58000美国军事人员,我只能说出Max Cleveland资深参议员的话“好的士兵,坏的战争”。让我们希望并祈祷美国能从造成了如此多的苦难者的战略上失误中学习。(LNL)

About the Author/作者介绍: 根据他朋友和熟人Ron说,R. Stanley Miller是一位55年经常在亚洲和中东进行海外工作的资深学者,而不是受聘于机密国防和建设项目。他的家庭长期居住在日本,韩国,伊朗,沙特阿拉伯,阿曼,土耳其,印度尼西亚,当然这本书的主题是在越南的十年。Ron是《盗贼之旅》的作者,他40年令人不安的生活的个人和戏剧性的回忆录。目前作者正在进行短期的来自新加坡的巴淡岛的船程,但考虑到他的过去冒险的表演,活动和不安,谁也不知道知道将来会怎样。虽然这本回忆录名叫越南的十年,但它可能为那些在战乱的越南生活,工作,战斗过的人写的,还有那些对1972年所有留下的美国军队会怎样好奇的人。在此,我提醒他们注意最后几章详细介绍了该国的瓦解。所以,让我们开始吧。Known to his friends and acquaintances as Ron, R. Stanley Miller is a veteran of fifty-five years of often distingished overseas work and travels throughout Asia and the Middle East while more than not employed in classified defense and construction projects. He has made his home and resided for lengthy periods in Japan, Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Turkey, Indonesia, and of course the subject of the book, those ten years in Vietnam. Ron is the author of Rogue Journey an extremely personal and at times dramatic and erotic memoir taking him through the first forty troubling years of his life. Currently the author lives a short ferry ride from Singapore on Batam Island, Indonesia in a sort of semi-retirment, but taking into account his past adventurous performances, activities, and restlessness who knows what the future holds for him. Although this memoir is titled Ten years in Vietnam it could well be dedicated singly to those who have fought, worked, and lived in wartorn Vietnam and are curious as to what occurred after all the American troops left in 1972. For this I draw their attention to the last few chapters which detail the country’s collapse. So lets get started.
