    "many autobiographical accounts and novels by North Vietnamese writers have appeared in the U.S. in the last decade. Bao Ninh's The Sorrow of War : a Novel of North Vietnam (translated into English in 1995) has been compared to Erich Maria Remarque's classic World War I novel, All Quiet on the Western Front. But probably best known of the Vietnamese accounts of the war is When Heaven and Earth Changed Places, Le Ly Hayslip's story of her experiences as a young girl growing up in a central Vietnam village in the late 60's and early 70's,which was made into a film by Oliver Stone in 1993."
