A detailed history, but needs updating
A good book, but more academic than I was hoping for.

A quick history of Laos.
Useful Background for Laos
Comprehensive, insightful, culturally-sensitive The subtitle "The Land in Between" sums up an unfortunate reality -- for much of its history Laos has been caught between more powerful neighbors and sometimes their even more powerful patrons.But Evans does not stop with such a facile explanation of the Laos that has emerged.I particularly appreciate his continuing emphasis on the deep and enduring cultural roots of the peoples who inhabit Laos -- and the interplay among them. With so many Western writers and readers still caught up in the battles that we fought in Laos in the 60s and 70s, Evans's book is a refreshing reminder that Laos merits attention -- indeed fascination -- in its own right. ...

Valuable Hmong Historical Record
History at the source
Compact, heartbreaking, rare photos Finally, a haunting pair of photos --top secret Long Tien in 1973, and another one, as mysterious as ever, from exactly the same angle and height (about 1000 feet above the runway), in 1995. A compact, tightly-woven and compelling tale.
Sky is falling

Hmong Means Free
My thoughts
To the not so cool dude.Get a life!
Cried and laughed all at once. The narratives were honest and sincere. There was no "sugar-coating"--I know! The narratives had a single common denominator: the sufferings of the human condition. Throughout the narration, I cried and laughed all at once. I cried: all the sufferings. I laughed: when one of the narratives failed the drivers' written test (in California) the first time because after she took the test, she didn't even realized it was in Spanish until her husband told her--she did not know Spanish. The book gave me a sense of my history in a personal and down-to-earth way. The book is an excellent reference.
