"Wake up with the sea" by author Nguyen Dinh Tam is a rare epic on the topic of maritime transport during the national defense war of the Vietnamese nation. The work has high value not only because of its unique content, honest and profound expression of the insider - author, but also because of the heroic poetic quality in each circuit, each line of words, creating the symbol of a hero of the sea. That hero of the sea conquered the waves, used the power of the sea, contracted with the sea to fight for a glorious victory and national liberty. The epic helps readers in many later generations, and readers all over the world to approach the Vietnamese war on the sea from the honest and deeply human perspective of an insider.
