About the Author
Dang Thuy Tram (1947-1970) was a young Vietnamese doctor whose poignant diary offers an intimate glimpse into the human spirit amid the chaos of the Vietnam War. Born in Quang Ngai Province, she served as a physician in the North Vietnamese Army, tending to wounded soldiers while grappling with the profound losses and fleeting joys of wartime life. Discovered after her tragic death at age 23, her writings were preserved by a Vietnamese soldier and later published, revealing her dreams of peace, love for literature, and unyielding hope for a brighter future. Last Night I Dreamed of Peace: The Diary of Dang Thuy Tram has since become a beloved testament to resilience, translated worldwide and inspiring readers with its raw emotional depth and universal humanity.
