Vietnamerica by Thomas A. Bass

Maxine Kumin recommends
Vietnamerica, a memoir by Thomas A. Bass: "A disturbing and totally compelling account of the lives of Amerasian children left behind in Vietnam; transported to the U.S., dumped in detention centers; used in factory jobs; fated to wander rootless from place to place. Bass, like John Balaban before him, forces us to look our past square in the face. Cleanly written, clearly told." (Soho)
