The Vietnam War ended on April 30, 1975. Millions of Vietnamese on both sides of the conflict were killed. Nearly 60,000 Americans were among those who died. You have all seen or heard about the war in the recent Ken Burns series: “The Vietnam War.” But what happened after the country of South Vietnam no longer ceased to exist? What happened to the former South Vietnamese military officers and men, to their families and to their country? The newly-released book “The World Looked Away – Vietnam After the War: Quoc Pham’s Story,” strives to tell that story.
