OUT OF LAOS is the true story of a secret war in the mountains of Southeast Asia and its aftermath in America. A sweeping, half-century saga of cultures colliding and adapting, it stars the headstrong Hmong general and the eccentric CIA man who changed a people’s destiny.

Rare historic photos and masterpieces of Hmong folk art fill the pages from cover to cover. The storytelling is so visual, so easy on the eyes, it’s almost like watching a movie.
