O knihe
Jane Hamilton-Merritt, Nobel-nominated scholar and photojournalist, hasfollowed the plight of the Hmong and the war in Indochina since the 1960s. Thestaunchest of allies, the Hmong sided with the Americans against the NorthVietnamese 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 ofgenocide by the North Vietnamese, including the use of chemical weapons. TragicMountains moves from the big picture of international diplomacy and power politicsto the small villages and heroic engagements in the Lao jungle. It is a story ofcourage, brutality, heroism, betrayal, resilience, and hope.
