1945 – krigen i Stillehavet er slut. Blandt de ruiner, den har efterladt sig, er en lille gruppe mænd på et militærhospital på en ø »et sted i Ostindien«. De er på en særlig afdeling. Afdeling X. Afdelingen for »trope-kuller«. Krigsneurose. Fem mand og en sygeplejerske, som de tilbeder, og som er klar til at slås for dem og deres ret til at blive betragtet som mennesker. En hårfin balance mellem vidt forskellige personligheder. Da brydes billedet.

In this staggering work of documentary and poetry, Mai Der Vang reopens a wrongdoing that deserves a new reckoning. As the US abandoned them at the end of the Vietnam War, many Hmong refugees recounted stories of a mysterious substance that fell from planes during their escape from Laos in the mid-1970s. This substance, known as "yellow rain," caused severe illnesses and thousands of deaths. These reports prompted an investigation into allegations that a chemical biological weapon had been used against the Hmong in breach of international treaties.

'Work hard, get paid.' It's simple. Self-evident. But it's also a lie—at least for most of us. For people today, the old assumptions are crumbling; hard work in school no longer guarantees a secure, well-paying job in the future. Far from a gateway to riches and fulfilment, 'work' means precarity, anxiety and alienation. In this audiobook, beautifully narrated by award-winning actor Libby Mai, Amelia Horgan poses three big questions: what is work? How does it harm us? And what can we do about it?
