My father was a warrior by profession and by deed. He fought in World War II, Korea and fought twice in the jungles of Viet Nam. He was not a very religious man but he was especially spiritual. In this regard he aligned more with the code of Bushido, the code of honor developed among the samurai, the military warriors of Japan. During World War II while fighting in the Pacific theater my father came by a katana, a samurai sword. As a boy, I remember him showing me the sword and explaining the significance that it had for the soldier who owned it. He told me that these swords were passed down from father to son as a symbol of the moral principles that support the spiritual warrior in war and during peace. He showed me the handle and told me that under the sharkskin wrapping was written the family history. He showed me the blade that I was not allowed to touch, and explained that the Japanese sword makers were the best in the world when this sword was made, almost 250 years ago.
My father said that the blade was imbibed with spiritual strength that both fed and was nurtured by the owner of the sword. Legend taught the spiritual power of a katana could be demonstrated by placing the blade in the path of a leaf as it flowed downstream.
If the leaf hit the sword and wrapped around the blade the sword was spiritually weak. If the leaf was cut in half by the katana the sword was strong in the spirit of Bushido. However, if the floating leaf approached the sword and then flowed effortlessly around the blade without touching it, this was the sword of supreme spiritual power. Twelve years after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima my family moved to Yokohama, Japan. We had many Japanese friends and learned to love and respect the people and culture of Japan. During the three years we lived with the Japanese my father tried to find the family who owned the katana. Neither my father nor our Japanese friends were successful. Years later, before my father died he passed the sword on to me.
There have been great injustices performed on every strata of human life. War has been ever present. Country against country, clan against clan but in the end it is now, as it has always been, one person against another. Warring between countries is an illusion. A country cannot go to war, only its people can. We continue to expend copious amounts of rhetoric aimed at abolishing war. Documents of peace are written, as if the paper has the power. We shake our head at the evening news and wonder why people can't just get along and then shake a fist at a slow-moving driver on our way home to subjugate our spouse and children. The world is a violent place primarily because we have lost our selves in the frantic milieu of other Self-searchers. The world is a violent place because we all too easily see others as the cause of our pain-pain generated within us and projected outward. My father, and every other man, woman and child who has ever been at war, had to confront this issue and come to some sort of conditional peace to make sense of their lives. Some have been more successful than others but almost all fail to resolve the issue of war on the personal level. The answer is in the blade and the leaf. We can vanquish our enemies or yield to their aggression. It really doesn't matter. Until we generate our own personal power; respect for our inner Self, anything more involved than drawing our next breath will generate only more violence.

Socioeconomic Renovation in Viet Nam $25 In 1986, Viet Nam began to introduce sweeping liberalization in all sectors of its previously hardline, centrally planned, and closed economy. Referred to as doi moi, this ''renovation'' has produced dramatic changes in the lives of Vietnamese farmers, workers, and their households. Agricultural production has soared. The country now welcomes foreign trade, investment, tourists, business people, students, and scholars. Personal incomes have increased, and Viet Nam is a new member of the Association ofSouth East Asian Nations (ASEAN). In this book, Vietnamese scholars describe the origins and impacts of these changes. They examine how the policy shift of doi moi has affected rural development, urban housing, household economy, and social welfare. Collaborating with Canadian scholars, they draw upon original field surveys, historical documents, and census material to study the evolution of doi moi and its implications for the future development of Viet Nam. Socioeconomic Renovation in Viet Nam illuminates the key questions and issues that policy advisers and decision-makers must wrestle with to ensure Viet Nam's successful emergence into the global family of nations. It will also appeal to development professionals; students and scholars in Asian studies, economics, and rural development; and businesses considering new investment in Viet Nam. |

Nationalist in the Viet Nam Wars $33.95 This extraordinary memoir tells the story of one man's experience of the wars of Viet Nam from the time he was old enough to be aware of war in the 1940s until his departure for America 15 years after the collapse of South Viet Nam in 1975. Nguy?n Cng Lu?n was born and raised in small villages near Ha Noi. He grew up knowing war at the hands of the Japanese, the French, and the Viet Minh. Living with wars of conquest, colonialism, and revolution led him finally to move south and take up the cause of the Republic of Viet Nam, exchanging a life of victimhood for one of a soldier. His stories of village life in the north are every bit as compelling as his stories of combat and the tragedies of war. This honest and impassioned account is filled with the everyday heroism of the common people of his generation. |

Administrative Simplification in Viet Nam $33 Administrative simplification in Viet Nam has reached a defining moment. In 2007, the government launched “Project 30”, the goal of which was to reduce administrative procedures by 30% as part of ambitious reforms to modernise the public service and simplify the regulatory environment for businesses. These reforms support the development of infrastructure, increased productivity, greater foreign direct investment and a high rate of growth. Administrative simplification efforts, once fully implemented, will enhance regulatory quality and stimulate competitiveness and equitable growth. It was within this context that Viet Nam invited OECD to evaluate achievements so far and suggest future directions, including options for a ten-year programme for regulatory reform grounded in international best practice. . This report details Project 30 and related initiatives. Using international comparisons and incorporating experience from similar reforms in other countries, it explores how Viet Nam can rapidly bring about the full potential of Project 30 and introduce a complete range of regulatory reform instruments in the near future. The lessons learnt from the management of a major administrative simplification initiative in Viet Nam will be useful to other countries seeking to improve their regulatory framework and to reduce administrative burdens, especially in the developing world and in transition countries. . This report is published in English; a French translation of the executive summary has been included in this volume. |

Nightmares of Viet Nam: And Other Dreams $40.78 NIGHTMARES OF VIET NAM and Other Dreams is a work of mine that has been in the works for a long time. I would have said that names have been changed to protect the innocent; however, everyone that served in country lost their innocence once they stepped foot in Viet Nam. I have written the poems and short stories in this book to help me rid them from my sleep, and so far with the help of my family, friends, and the people of the VA Hospital in Portland, Oregon, and the Veterans PTSD Hospital at American Lake in Tacoma, Washington, it seems to be working. In 1967 I was assigned to the Black Lions of the 1st Infantry Division, but transferred out to the 329th Heavy Boat Co (LCU 1575) Vung Tau, then reassigned to Da Nang, moving men and equipment to places on rivers. In March of 1968 we were moving some Marines from Dong Ha Base Camp to a spot on the Cau Viet River when our boat was attacked. I was wounded and sent back to The World but as any Veteran of any war we will tell you, we physically left but a little part of our mental selves would never leave. Author: Upton, Charles W.

Xin Loi, Viet Nam $16.44 No one in Vietnam had to tell door gunner and gunship crew chief Al Sever that the odds didn’t look good. He volunteered for the job well aware that hanging out of slow-moving choppers over hot LZs blazing with enemy fire was not conducive to a long life. But that wasn’t going to stop Specialist Sever.From Da Nang to Cu Chi and the Mekong Delta, Sever spent thirty-one months in Vietnam, fighting in eleven of the war’s sixteen campaigns. Every morning when his gunship lifted off, often to the clacking and muzzle flashes of AK-47s hidden in the dawn fog, Sever knew he might not return. This raw, gritty, gut-wrenching firsthand account of American boys fighting and dying in Vietnam captures all the hell, horror, and heroism of that tragic war. |

Home Front: Viet Nam and Families at War $46.81 When will the war finally come to an end? Home Front: Viet Nam and Families at War recounts the private ordeals of several families who bore the brunt of Americas war in Viet Nam. Their experiences, an ongoing tragedy since the last U.S. soldiers left Vietnamese soil, reveal the physical and psychological wounds of war wounds that dont discriminate between soldier and family. From the backwoods of Maine to the rugged wide open landscape of Montana, we meet a dozen soldiers and their families and hear their stories. Author Willard D. Gray knows the fallout firsthand. His oldest son spent two years and eighteen consecutive days in Viet Nam as a BAMC trained medic, most of his tour was served in the bush or in the gristmill of an evacuation hospital. When Willards son returned home in April 1970 without an honorable discharge, the Gray family endured several months of tension, anger, and disappointment. Tommy Gray had come home a completely changed young man. Willards crusade on behalf of his son soon grew to include others in the community who had also been traumatized and marginalized by the war. A national tragedy became a personal quest. Author: Willard D. Gray, D.
