VIETNAM

"To Mr. president Donald J. Trump"

Two grandfathers. One fought for America, the other for Vietnam. Two grandchildren, bound by a past they never lived, fighting for the future of a nation they both call home.
Jonathan Miller carries the ghosts of the Vietnam War in his trembling hands and haunting nightmares. A former American soldier, he survived the horrors of the jungle only to spend decades wrestling with the question: What was it all for?
Tang Phu Hyun carries the scars of the same war, but from the other side. An aristocrat-turned-reluctant Viet Cong soldier, he fought to liberate his homeland, only to question the price of that freedom under a new, repressive regime.
A generation later, their legacies collide in the most unexpected way. Elliot, Jonathan's idealistic American grandson, and Bao, Tang's brilliant Vietnamese grandson, meet at an American university. Drawn together by a shared sense of justice, they find themselves at the heart of a new kind of battle-a modern-day cultural and political war unfolding on their own campus.
As a divisive new president rises to power, threatening to tear the country apart with policies of exclusion and fear, Elliot and Bao must confront the echoes of their grandfathers' war. They soon discover that the most profound conflicts are not between nations, but within the human heart-between duty and conscience, legacy and liberty, and the stories we inherit versus the truths we choose to live.
Spanning from the humid jungles of 1960s Vietnam to the heated protests on contemporary American streets, VIETNAM DON'T COME BACK is a sweeping, deeply human epic about the cost of war, the burden of memory, and the redemptive power of a new generation's courage. It is a poignant reminder that history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes, and the fight for a nation's soul is never truly over.
