Table of ContentsReviewsAn absorbing and moving autobiography...An important addition...to the larger human story of hope, violence and disillusion in the political life of our era. -- Chicago Tribune Author InformationComing soon . . . Truong Nhu Tang, a founder of the National Liberation Front and Minister of Justice in the Vietcong's Provisional Revolutionary Government, was one of the most determined adversaries of the United States during the war. Living a double, at times a triple, life in Saigon, he was a high-level economics official for the South Vietnamese government who simultaneously worked as one of the revolution's most effective urban organizers. Captured and tortured by the Thieu police, in 1968 he was traded in a secret U.S.-Viet Cong prisoner exchange and spent the rest of the war in the resistance strongholds on the Cambodian border. A revolutionary for almost thirty years, after liberation Tang fought a losing battle on behalf of the policy of national reconciliation and concord which he had helped design. In the end, profoundly disillusioned by the massive political repression and economic chaos the new government brought with it, he carried out a dramatic escape by boat to a U.N. refugee camp in the South China Sea. Trieu Tran earned his BA in performing arts from American University. Born in Vietnam and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, he has appeared in numerous theatrical productions throughout the years. His notable performances include the role of Alan Strang in Equus (LADCC nomination) with George Takei, the title role in Oedipus the King, and The Legacy Codes (Dean Goodman Award) with TheatreWorks. Other favorites include Rashomon, As You Like It, Henry IV, Part One (Hotspur), and the title role in Richard III. His film and television credits include Trade of Innocents, Tropic Thunder, The Chaos Factor, Desperation, How High, Hancock, Last Call, The Newsroom, Men at Work, Intruders, and Malcolm in the Middle. He currently plays Mr. Leung on the series Altered Carbon for Netflix. Coming soon . . . Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
