Born to Kill: The Rise and Fall of America's Bloodiest Asian

Born to Kill: The Rise and Fall of America's Bloodiest Asian Gang

An inside account of criminal life among Chinatownâ€™s fiercest thugs

They are children of the Vietnam War. Born and raised in the wasteland left by American bombs and napalm, these young men know a particular brand of crueltyâ€”which they are about to export to the United States. When the Vietnamese gangs come to Chinatown, they adopt a name remembered from GIâ€™s helmets: â€œBorn to Kill.â€ And kill they do, in a frenzy of violence that shocks even the old-school Chinese gangsters who once ran Canal Street. Killing brings them turf, money, and power, but also draws the governmentâ€™s eye. Even as Born to Kill reaches its height, it is marked for destruction.
Â
This story is told from the perspective of Tinh Ngo, a young gang member who eventually grows disenchanted with murder and death. When he decides to inform on his brothers to the police, he enters a shadow world far more dangerous than any gangland.
