We are thrilled to announce a generous donation to our library collection by Professor Napier, a distinguished Professor Emerita from Boise State University, and Dr. Dau Thuy Ha, a renowned founder of a leading consulting firm in Vietnam.

🏆 The book, titled The Bridge Generation of Vietnam: Spanning Wartime to Boomtime, has been honored with the Independent Publishing Book Awards. This remarkable work offers a deep dive into the lives of Vietnam’s ‘bridge generation’ – a group who grew up in straw and mud houses without electricity, endured the hardships of poverty and famine in the 1970s and 1980s, and have emerged as key contributors to one of the world’s most dynamic economies.

🌉 This insightful book profiles several members of this generation, capturing their resilience and spirit, and paints a vivid picture of their incredible journey from wartime struggles to economic prosperity. It’s an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the profound transformations that have shaped contemporary Vietnam.

🙏 We at VinUni Library are immensely grateful to Professor Napier and Dr. Dau Thuy Ha for this valuable contribution. We believe this book will greatly enrich our learning community and offer unique perspectives on Vietnam’s history and development.

📖 The book is now available for loan at VinUni Library. We encourage our students, faculty, and community members to explore this captivating story of perseverance and transformation.
