Book excerpt: Based on a true story, a young American soldier fighting in the Vietnam War meets a beautiful Vietnamese woman on his base. Their relationship develops into a full romance leading to an engagement, but the turmoil of the times and their parental opposition leads to heavy resistance. Fellow soldiers and officers attempt to talk him out of the marriage, but the two are determined to marry, despite the ongoing war. Destiny has its hand against it, as the US Army sends the soldier home to finish his service stateside, leaving his Vietnamese fiancee in-country with his promise to her, "I'll come back for you." When he settles into his new assignment in the United States, his letters to her go unanswered. As months go by, he is concerned for her safety in the war and launches an on-base search for her as he contacts embassies, consulates, and a US senator, as well as a chaplain still in Vietnam. When this search through established channels fails to locate her, she is considered officially missing somewhere in Vietnam. Remembering his promise, he begins preparation to return to Vietnam and find her to deliver on his promise to marry her. His search takes him as far south as the Mekong Delta, as far west as the Cambodian border, before crossing enemy lines in the Central Highlands, where he finally finds her. His only problem now is, he has to fight to get her back. She has been promised to another man in an arranged marriage. Worse than this, he has discovered her father as part of the Viet Cong. His resistance to let her go leads to a confrontation between himself and the enemy.

Download or read book Promise Lost written by Dan Moore and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of Lieutenant Steve Joyner, who carried all the traits of a "perfect Marine" - character, compassion, determination, patriotism . . . an All-American football star. But then came the harsh and unforgiving realities of combat in Vietnam. How the two worlds he inhabited both connected and conflicted reveals the character of an extraordinary man gone far too soon. "Promise Lost is a touching, crisply rendered account of a Marine lieutenant who fell heroically in the final, bloody days of the 1968 battle for Khe Sanh while leading a counterattack into the teeth of an overwhelming enemy assault force," writes Vietnam veteran and author Michael Archer. "Yet, the real story here is of Steve Joyner's life, his personal character, and enormous potential. Dan Moore reliably and deftly weaves this poignant tale of friendship, honor and fate; culminating in the agonizing reality that war does not end on the battlefield; but rather back home, often decades later, within a fallen warrior's circle of family and friends."

Download or read book Improving Grassroots Service Delivery Using Results Based Financing in Vietnam written by Ha Thi Hong Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, results-based financing (RBF) health programs have been implemented in several countries at different levels of income. Due to its requirement of rigorous verification of results as a condition for financing, as well as a number of accompanying measures to help achieve the results, RBF has a promise of value for money. RBF's potential for improving the performance of the service delivery system has led the government of Vietnam to undertake a pilot of RBF in the Nghe An province as part of a World Bank funded operation. The main objective of the pilot was to experiment an RBF approach in the Vietnam context, where public sector providers have been receiving budget allocation based on inputs rather than performance. A secondary objective was to test the effects of RBF in improving quality of care at the grassroots level and in addressing the challenges of emerging noncommunicable diseases. The intervention included quality improvement at the district level and both quality and quantity of services at commune health station.
Download or read book The Vietnam Run written by Michael Gillen and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-03-17 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the same day the Japanese surrender ended World War II, Vietnamese nationalists declared independence from France. Within weeks, France sought to reestablish colonial rule. American merchant seamen arriving in French ports to ship GIs back to the U.S. were dismayed when French troops bound for Vietnam came aboard instead. Many of these seamen objected because American veterans awaited transport home and because they flew in the face of Allied war aims of national self-determination. Later, with the Vietnam War effort dependent on Merchant Marine logistical support, seamen were among the first to protest U.S. involvement. With firsthand recollections, this book tells the story, from deadly encounters with mines, rockets and gunfire to evacuations of refugees and to rescues of "boat people" in the South China Sea.

This book was released on 2007-01-24 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A host of internationally eminent scholars are brought together here to explore the structural causes of rural poverty and income inequality, as well as the processes of social exclusion and political subordination encountered by the peasantry and rural workers across a wide range of countries. This volume examines the intersection of politics and economics and provides a critical analysis and framework for the study of neo-liberal land policies in the current phase of globalization. Utilizing new empirical evidence from ten countries, it provides an in-depth analysis of key country studies, a comparative analysis of agrarian reforms and their impact on rural poverty in Africa, Asia, Latin America and transition countries. Presenting an agrarian reform policy embedded in an appropriate development strategy, which is able to significantly reduce and hopefully eliminate rural poverty, this work is a key resource for postgraduate students studying in the areas of development economics, development studies and international political economy.
