.....קודם כל היה לי את ההיזדמנות להכיר את הסיפור מקרוב.....
.....בשנת 1975 כבר לא חיפשנו את מי יש להרוג שם חיפשנו את מי אפשר להציל שם..... וכך נולד המיבצע שקראנו לו

.....Operation Babylift.....


This is the true story, told in narrative form, of
the adoption of a young boy from Vietnam during Operation Babylift in 1975. When the US withdrew from Vietnam, hundreds of babies and children were brought our of orphanages by plane out and adopted in the United States and many other countries around the world in very short time. Matt Steinour (known as Long when in Vietnam) was born to a Vietnamese mother (who died when he was 5) and American father (who disappeared when he was 2). He was taken to the Holt orphanage when he was 7 by his grandmother when she could no longer afford to care for him. After living there for a while he was adopted by the Steinour family and flown to the United States during Operation Babylift.

Andrea Warren is an professional writer and this shows in the factual research, movement and quality of this book. The descriptions of Matt Steinour's early life in Vietnam, Operation Babylift (including the tragic crash of one of the planes), his adjustment to his new family and life in the United States, and his homeland visit to Vietnam, are well written and engrossing. Older children and adults interested in adoption and in the Babylift will enjoy this remarkable story and accompanying photographs

.....כדאי מאוד ליקרוא אפילו רק בישביל לגלות את הזויות האחרות שיש לכל מילחמה.....

This book beautifully compliments Inside Out & Back Again, giving the reader a glimpse of the Vietnam War from the perspective of a child. It also reveals that some good things were done by Americans as well as all the bad things we always here about happening during that war

.....קריאה נעימה.....
