“The history of my efforts to publish The Memoirs of Phạm Duy, like the history of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union – is an extremely long and extremely complicated history. Where should I start to tell it clearly?” [quoted from Dr. Eric Henry's email, sent to Ngô Thế Vinh on May 4, 2022]
