Abstract

Dulles's a n t i - C o m m u n i s t c r u s a d e of the 1950s, allows no room for compromise with a Laotian regime p o r t r a y e d as evil incarnate. The author has apparently never visited c o n t e m p o r a r y Laos. She might be s u r p r i s e d to see scores of H m o n g - A m e r i c a n visitors d e p l a n i n g at Vientiane International Airport these days to visit relatives in home villages. H e r book does a disservice to the portrayal of current reality in Laos. But it is a major contribution to the history of the wartime alliance a n d subsequent betrayal of the H m o n g b y the United States. Lynellyn D. Long contributes in Ban Vinai: The Refugee Camp a re- flective s u m m a r y of her personal experience as a refugee relief worker, incisive case studies of camp residents a
