Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"EAST meets WEST" is a detailed historical account that covers an amazing 86-year period by an exceptional first-hand witness. It is not only a poignant story of War and Peace but much more interesting are the descriptions of clashes between cultures, the merging between different traditions and customs, the evolution in ways of life and family values, and finally the successful integration into the American Melting Pot. Another remarkable aspect of this book is its illustrations with hundreds of photographs and documents depicting people, events, places, and the flow of time. It is a valuable reference book and outstanding and entertaining reading. "EAST meets WEST" was written by HUU DIEU KHUONG.
