pgs., $19.5 Wraps trade ed., a

since 1960. A good
part of the book focuses on the plight of the Hmong since 1975. It does contain a historical
account of the Hmong's involvement in the Indochina Wars,
beginning with the French period during World War II.
Her extenisve interviews of persons involved during this
period, particularly among the Hmong, is unsurpassed to
date but it is unfortunate that the history of the 1942
to 1963 period was not more fully developed.
Hopefully, she
will write furthur on the Hmong and focus on this period
from a strict historical perspective as she has a wealth of
material.
