    How many Americans in this thread have every read or seen anything about the Vietnam war written by a Vietnamese person ?

    I’ve searched and could find no books, no movies, no tv shows written or produced by a Vietnamese person available in English.

    Why is that ? I thought history was written by the victors.

      Movies all with english subs or dubs

      “When the tenth month comes” “the abandoned field” “the little girl of Hanoi”

      Books available in many languages including English.

      “The sorrow of war” “Last night I dreamed of peace” “Mourning headband for Hue” “nothing ever dies”

      Just to name a few. Ive seen 1 and read 2. Nobody won that war and it never should have happened.
