" Running on Empty is a compelling narrative about how Canada was able to resettle Vietnamese, Laotian, Cambodian, and Hmong refugees during a time of international crisis. A valuable addition to Canadian immigration history." Vinh Nguyen, Renison University College at University of Waterloo " This insider' s account of an historic movement of refugees makes for an engaging read. The real gems are the accounts from officials on the ground." Stephanie Bangarth, King' s College at University of Western Ontario
