About 55,000 Vietnamese children ended up alone in refugee camps in Southeast Asian and Hong Kong during the 1970s and 1980s. [Freeman and Nguyen] present a heartbreaking account of the hardships and trauma endured by these children while they waited to be resettled abroad, or forced to repatriate to Vietnam. The authors provide excellent analysis of the refugee crises in Southeast Asia, camp life, and the politics that determined resettlement or repatriation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
