The Dust of Life: Americas Children
Abandoned in Vietnam by Robert S.
McKelvey
Great Work From A Dedicated Author
This text is a collection of oral histories of Vietnamese Amerasians.
Abandoned during the war by their American fathers, discriminated against
by the victorious Communists, and ignored for many years by the
American government, they endured life in impoverished Vietnam.
Personal Review: The Dust of Life: Americas Children
Abandoned in Vietnam by Robert S. McKelvey
Few seem to understand the aftermath of the US involvement in Southeast
Asia better than Robert McKelvey. The stories of abandoned Amerasian
children told in "The Dust of Life" ring true. The author's later work, "A Gift
of Barbed Wire," tells the equally painful stories of our abandoned "allies."
Having once worked with the 4,000 Amerasian children living throughout
Thailand, I would love to see the author examine the fates of the
Amerasian children left behind in Thailand. An examination of the Lao

"seminar" (reeducation) camps is long overdue as well, and is certainly
well within McKelvey's reach.
