PHAT AND HIS WIFE, Thinh Phi, tried carving out a life in Vietnam in 1985 but eventually moved to Garden Grove, where she runs a dry cleaning business. If thousands fall, millions will rise up. Within seconds, the inmates strike. They swing firewood stolen from the kitchen. Screams echo off the barrack walls.
