Born in a small village in South Vietnam in 1963, Kim Phuc's childhood was shattered when her home was bombed by napalm in 1972. The iconic photograph of her running naked and screaming in agony from the burning village became a symbol of the horrors of war and won the Pulitzer Prize for Photography.
After suffering severe burns over 65% of her body, Kim Phuc was sent to a hospital in Saigon, where she underwent countless surgeries and endured unimaginable pain. Despite the challenges she faced, she found strength and hope in the love and support of her family and the doctors who cared for her.
In her memoir, Kim Phuc candidly shares her experiences as a child soldier, her struggles with PTSD, and the discrimination she faced as a survivor of the war. She also describes her journey of forgiveness and reconciliation, and her unwavering commitment to peace and healing.
Through her story, Kim Phuc inspires us to believe in the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity and find hope in even the darkest of times. Beautiful Hero is a must-read for anyone interested in history, war, survival, and the indomitable human spirit.
