Armies were advancing on their town, forcing the Bui family to flee — but how could they escape? The main bridge was bombed out and cars could not cross the rushing river beneath it. How would their dad — their fearless, unfailing leader and military commander — solve this one? Through killing fields the family traveled on foot, by truck, and by small boat at sea, barely escaping the war that was engulfing Vietnam, threatening to take their father as a political prisoner. When We Were Refugees is Winston Bui’s incredible true life story.
