The Keng Khanh Concentration Camp of 1975 in Laos contains political and historical knowledge telling of a remarkable life journey. It is the author’s true story of how he survived the perilous and eventful years during and after the Vietnam War. Themes include hatred, hope, and redemption. Sithiphone S. Phetphouthay exposes the reality of the Pathet Lao regime to the world, showing the Vietnamese hegemony with the Chinese influence put on the backs of the Laotian people. This book reveals hardship, famine, fears, atrocity, and social injustice in Laos that have been kept secret. Today the prosecution of the Laotian people will not end soon. Under the Pathet Lao regime, Laos has become a pawn owned by the Vietnamese and Chinese. Natural resources have been robbed and nearly depleted. The last action, the suicide operation, shows the Pathet Lao soldiers’ patriotism and the regret that made them fight on … for the freedom that they wish and dream about. Sithiphone S. Phetphouthay was born and grew up in Laos and now lives in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. It took me a little bit over a year to write the original manuscript. But it took me almost twenty years to rewrite over and over, during which I asserted new information in accordance with times and events that changed. His love for Laos motivated him to write this memoir. He hopes the Lao-American New Leadership Council is going to be the legislative Laotian organization for national reconciliation.
