This was the long war that my life has walked in - a long journey that I & other people made under the Vietnam regimes, during the Vietnam War, the Terror War, & the under the forces of the Communist government. Even today, it is unforgettably tragic to remember April 30, 1975 the day of Saigon's fall, & what followed when the War was over. Vietcong cadres were outlawed. A violated peace engulfed the center of South Vietnam. Both the North & South Vietnamese people had poured out their blood & their treasure to fight in the war. The people in the south were compelled to come together to fight what always appeared to be overwhelming numbers from the north. In the aftermath, an internal war out of the view of television cameras began in the South. Once known as soldiers, civil servants, intellectuals, artisans & business merchants, the communist socialist government renamed them capitalists & bourgeoisie. Property was seized. Businesses were destroyed, confiscated or nationalized. A torrent of ideological euphemisms swept over the country. Re-education camps were established for the powerful or the skilled. Thousands more were forcibly marched into so-called new economic zones in the jungle. Against the ideological tide pulling people landward, a steady stream flowed seaward. Through a black market of go-betweens, smugglers, gold, diamonds, & dank cargo holds, the stream flowed. From 1975 to 1985, thousands set out to sea in leaking boats. Waiting off shore, pirates swarmed the unsuspecting boats. Murder & rape joined robbery as the standard ritual. Whenever pirates left, the others came. Thousands more perished. Awaiting those who survived the sea journey were the refugee camps. They had to wait many years before they could be resettled in the west. However, in the era of historic Vietnam today & the future, there are big changes in peoples' lives & better life for a modern living because of doi moi plans for improving things under the Socialist Republic of Vietnam!

Dozens of unrecognized and therefore unidentified facts and data, on and after 1521 when this subject kingdom was first noted by a European chronicler in a voyage to the Philippines are now in this book. Among them are the treasures in King Kolambu's Kingdom found in the 1970s and 1980s by accident and later by pot and treasure hunters; the major tribal people and their descendants existing up to now in this region; the trained baganis or tribal warriors who existed until the late 1990s albeit the abandoned their pillaging and killing habits on the 1930s for fear of their annihilation by the American-led Philippine Constabulary; how they changed their self-conferred titles of baganis to datus. How the tribal peoples entertain themselves and the meaning of their languages; the establishment of a short-lived neutral government in Caraga Region, with clear theocratic hues in 1899, and the only on in the Philippines; the so-called "Sins of our Father" or the abuses of the Iberian and Dutch missionary priests; some excesses of the Spanish and American civil and military officials in the region. This book also tells of small towns that produced top military generals — one of the Philippine-American War (1898-1914) and two on the post American period Philippine air Force military service. Included here are the unheralded regional catalysts and the perils encountered by the provincial journalists in war-torn Mindanao where Caraga Region or Kolambus kingdom in 1521 is located.

In 1970, Chile's citizens made Salvador Allende the first freely elected Marxist president in the americas. Three years later, he was overthrown in a violent military coup led by Augusto Pinochet with the no-so-secret complicity of the U.S. Government and powerful corporate interests. Chilean democrats were brutally suppressed and all Chileans were stripped of their constitutional rights.
"The dynamics which enabled Allende to win at the polls, including the expectations raised but only partially fulfilled by President Eduardo Frei and Kennedy's Alliance for Progress, are examined form multiple perspectives. Allende's policies, the reason for the coup, the repression which followed, and the events leading to the restoration of democracy are critically scrutinized.
"Allende's legacy as a democratic politician with a socialist agenda is reviewed from the vantage point of the struggle by Chileans to overcome a military tyranny nurtured for 16 years by domestic and foreign elites in the name of "liberty and freedom."
It is a lesson which all democrats of the Americas ignore at our own peril."
