Opis

The Mac Dynasty spanned 150 years and encompassed several nations. In Vietnam, the Mżc Dynasty's founder, Emperor Mżc Đang Dung, was not a traitor as the Lę Dynasty (1009-1225) claimed. Rather, Mżc Đang Dung seized power due to the corruption of the Lę Dynasty. Author Quang Hong Mac, a descendant of Mac's family, is now telling the world of his great and historic surname. But his book is not only about the ancient past, it also tells of the author's courageous survival during the Vietnam War and its aftermath. Settling into a new life in the United States after escaping North Vietnamese imprisonment following the war, the author began researching his ancestors who dated back to 770 B.C., so they would never be forgotten. He spent four decades collecting documents and pictures, and speaking to relatives and witnesses. The Mac family's contributions spanned many eras and also impacted the history of China and Korea. The Mac's descendants succeeded as scholars, and were pioneers in the Mekong Delta at Ha Tien, establishing a dynasty that ruled Vietnam for 150 years. Quang Hong Mac, a captain in the South Vietnam Army (ARVN) and an injured pilot in the Tet's offensive battle in 1968, was imprisoned for five years after Saigon fell in 1975. In 1980, he escaped and resettled in the United States. The following year, his wife and three children came to a Malaysia refugee camp. They reunited in 1981. Working hard, he rebuilt his life from zero, graduating as an electrical engineer in the U.S. Now retired, the author was editor of Philadelphia Rżng Đông Sunrise magazine and was an adviser on Asia for Pennsylvania's governor. He has never returned to Vietnam. Publisher's website: http://sbprabooks.com/QuangHongMac
