In 2005, the Vietnam Archive received the diaries of Dr. Dang Thuy Tram, a woman who served in a medical detachment for North Vietnamese Army. Dr. Tram was killed in action in 1970, but the diaries she kept for the last three years of her life were captured by U.S. soldiers. A U.S. Army Intelligence officer, Fred Whitehurst, was ordered to burn Dr. Tram’s diaries when they were found to contain no significant strategic information. Whitehurst’s astute translator advised him, “do not burn these, they already have fire in them.” He kept the diaries for thirty-five years, and eventually donated them to the Vietnam Archive. Dr. Tram’s family was found and contacted in Hanoi and given an electronic copy of the diaries. Tram became a national hero in Vietnam, and her diaries a bestseller. The Vietnam Archive was honored to host her mother and sisters in October 2005 in which the family was able to hold her diaries. Random House published an English translation last year titled Last Night I Dreamed of Peace: the Diaries of Dang Thuy Tram.
