| 1. |  | Wandering Souls: Journeys With the Dead and the Living in Viet Nam from Nation Books Price: $0.69 Customer Review:  It was with some trepidation that I bought this book not knowing a great deal about Vietnam or the war.

Seldom does a book succeed to such a lofty perch, but this... |

| 4. |  | The Stars, The Earth, The River: Short Stories by Le Minh Khue (Voices from Vietnam) from Curbstone Press Price: $4.95 Customer Review:  Minh Khue Le should be read by all writers to discover how to detail general life. Yes, there are epic moments in the stories, but better are her writings on the normal, day to day existence which is covered in very simple sentences. Her style and the Vietnamese overtones still come through though... |
