I've read a few books about the Vietnam War over the years, including 'Fire in the Lake' by Frances Fitzgerald and Stanley Karnow's 'Vietnam: A History'. They are all great books in their own way.But for me, this is the best one so far. Why? It's the only one that I've read that comes from the perspective of a Vietnamese farm girl who lived through the war. It gives you a cultural perspective that you just don't get from the others that I've read. I remember when the movie 'Heaven and Earth' came out and I was thinking to myself, "Wow...Oliver Stone...another Vietnam War movie? Do we really need to see another Vietnam War movie?" Now after reading the book, I understand why. The book is every bit as good as the movie, even better.I think given how much war is played up in the media today that everyone should read this book, at least everyone in the United States. We hear about the names of different countries and political groups and the news frames it in such a way that we draw a conclusion who is bad and who is good during a war, who the "freedom fighters" are or aren't all in a matter of minutes on a TV screen. We have very little cultural understanding of all these places in the world. At the end of the day, we really don't know what it's like to experience a war unless we are there fighting in it, living in it, enduring and learning from it as Le Ly Hayslip did. Most of us really really don't know what it's like to be in the middle of an all out war.Don't buy this book to read about specific battles and military strategies. Buy it because you want to know what it was like for a young Vietnamese woman to live through "The American War" as she called it. Buy it because you want to learn something about Vietnamese culture and it's history. You will learn much more about Vietnam and it's culture with this book than others about the war that I've read so far.It's also interesting to see how Lay Le later became a successful businessperson in the U.S. and yet did not forget her roots by establishing the Global Village Foundation, how instead of seeking vengeance she sought out reconciliation.
An incredibly mesmerizing book! Do you want to know how brutal this war was? Do you want to know the good and the bad from the point of view of a Viet Cong family? Do you want to see the travesty of what war does to a young child selling her body or dating American soldiers? How about a revisit years later after living in the USA and exploring the differences in the family based upon where they live and the government they live under?This book is so good on so many levels and I could not recommend it higher to learn, although I acknowledge at times it is a little slow. But what a story it tells! I would also note there is a movie based upon this book that I hope to see to complete my knowledge on this war from the perspective of the Vietnamese.Buy this book to learn of why the USA should not fight limited wars. Bring our troops home!
I am a Vietnam Vet and this book brought tears to my eyes. I now know what it was like to be on the "other" side. I had a very difficult time putting the book down. I look at my "enemy" in a very different light. If this book doesn't move you, you cannot be reached.
The book is well written, introspective and gentle in its characterization of Yankees, village people, family members and soldiers, despite their bad behavior. Le Ly Hayslip lived in the South, near DaNang, but her family included brothers who fought for both the North and the South. Her village was divided in its loyalties and there was inevitable spying and reporting on each other.Le Ly portrays her village social harmony before the war and how it disappeared during the conflict. She describes her parents' behavior and reaction to the extreme danger and turmoil of the times. She describes her village in loving terms without being overly sentimental. There are many scenes of high adventure as she tries to navigate safely within a powder-keg environment. There are other scenes with parents, siblings, friends that seek to make sense out of the senseless, choices when no good ones are available.She discusses the behavior of American GIs, including her involvement with them. The reader can begin to understand the predicament of young Vietnamese women and their social entrapment. The case studies of several American soldiers is not flattering, but their behavior is portrayed in a straight-forward manner and it is allowed to speak for itself.When Heaven and Earth Changed Places explains a very complicated situation and underlying reasons that American soldiers couldn't recognize the enemy and their methods couldn't match the commitment of the North Vietnamese. It shows how technological advantage and superior gun powder can't overcome one's love of home and the need to defend it.Le Ly fled to the States and then returned to reunite with her family twenty years later. Her mother is still alive and her siblings rise to the occasion in unpredictable ways. But there's a kind of completion, a unity of spirit, despite the loss of tradition, ancestors, the father and the mutuality of village life. This book neither resolves nor concludes, but it gives hope we can survive, and even thrive, when we proceed with our best intentions.
Reading this book gives one pause to remember , ( if one is old enough to) the Vietnam War. The writer makes realism with her memories; sometimes feels guilty , sometimes feels joy, sometimes has doubts, and sometimes is self-protected in all she has done with her life. I found this book was interesting and a page-turner. One can feel the pain in her life, her sorrows and ups and downs with her family and men she has know. How many of us, in her place, made the same choices ?? Maybe that is something to think about.
