'Amanda Demmer presents us with an entirely new way of looking at U.S.-Vietnamese relations after 1975 … Demmer's book is a most welcome addition to what is still a relatively scarce scholarship on the post war period, and is undoubtedly the definitive study on the complex intertwined processes of U.S-SRV normalization and South Vietnamese migration to the United States.' Kathryn C. Statler, Passport: The Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations Review
