Mae risks torture and death to escape into the dark tropical jungles, trekking across a relentless wilderness crawling with soldiers. When Mae is able to overcome unthinkable odds in the hopes of reuniting with his family, fate takes a cruel turn as he flees war-torn Cambodia. He becomes trapped as a refugee with thousands of others on the ancient temple mountain, Preah Vihear, a place surrounded by countless deadly landmines. Caught up in the terror once more, it is only his willpower to survive and dreams of a better country that give Mae the strength to face the dangers ahead. This gripping and inspiring memoir, written with Mae's son, James, is not merely an incredible story of survival, but a testament to the human spirit's capacity in us all to endure and prevail in spite of great adversity. Under the Naga Tail will find its place among the most epic true stories of personal triumph." -- book jacket. 600 10 $a Taing, Mae Bunseng. 610 20 $a Parti communiste du Kampuchea. 650 0 $a Political refugees $z Cambodia $v Biography. 650 0 $a Political refugees $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Political atrocities $z Cambodia. 650 0 $a Autobiographies. 651 0 $a Cambodia $x History $y 1975-1979. 700 1 $a Taing, James, $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021031902.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010311.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4FE15E10F08A11EDB88C213231ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b NTGInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
