In Children of Hope, The Story of Le Minh Dao. Michelle Le Chen, one of Major General Dao's nine children, tells her father's tale, through audiotapes recorded with him in his later years. In addition, the story of the rest of her family's escape to freedom, through her own recollections and those of her mother and her oldest sister, is relived. The thoughts of two American military colleagues of her father conclude a moving firsthand account of life in Viet Nam before, during and after the Fall of Sai Gon, a world event that touched so many lives.
