When I picked up this book I was not sure if it would be very interesting. Mostly due to the fact that I did not know much about the Hmong at all. After reading about how they helped the U.S. in their country under cover I look at the Hmong as very courageous. Unfortunately their new regime did not and they were sent as refugees the America. I think that the support that they received when they arrived was well deserved and maybe even more should have been allocated. Interesting book!
