In the winter of 1789, a rice farmer's son took an army up the whole length of a country in the dead of winter and broke a far larger invading army in six days — over Tết, when every soldier most wanted to be home. He did it because he believed a short war is the merciful war. Then, at the summit of victory, he did the hardest thing of all. He stopped.
A full-length biography for young readers of the diaspora — the record and the legend held honestly apart, and not a single cartoon villain in it.
Most retellings of Quang Trung give you a bronze statue or a dry lesson. This one gives you a person.
