| Praise for Harvesting Pa Chay's Wheat |
| "Quincy, an established scholar of Laos and the Hmong, energetically relates their experience and the history of Laos over the last century with deep feeling, telling detail, and occasional dark humor... This sad but colorful story will appeal both to general readers interested in Cold War history and to scholars." |
—Library Journal.......... |

"This well-written narrative clearly shows that the secret war's biggest losers were the Hmong, who did most of the fighting-and dying-against the North Vietnamese."

—Publisher's Weekly.......... |

"A vivdly written account of fantastically real people and events." , .......................................................................—Robin Vue-Benson |
