This volume reviews my visit to Vietnam, a country with a long and fascinating history. Though relatively small, Vietnam had a large footprint on the world stage, from the time it was an empire and governed by China for over a thousand years through recent times. Though under Chinese occupation for a millennium the embers of independence did not dissipate. At an appropriate time, a revolt expelled the Chinese and Vietnam regained its independence. A resurgent Vietnam after this long quiescent period transformed them into a resilient and hardy people, refusing to allow others to invade and conquer them. Amazingly, three different world powers tried to invade Vietnam and conquer them. And each, in turn, was repelled. The first of these were the Mongolians. The Mongol army was thoroughly defeated and its army was annihilated in the Battle of the Bach Dang River in 1287-1288. The only others who were successful against the Mongols were the Hungarians, far distant from the Far East. Six hundred and sixty-six years later, the French arrived, in a colonial effort to subdue these people. However, the Battle of Dien Bien Phu resulted in French defeat, with the Vietnamese again victorious in defeating an invader. The United States, the greatest superpower in the world, then tried to subdue them by might and force by raining bombs that still litter the countryside. However, the TET Offensive (1968) was so devastating, the United States withdrew from the futile effort at defeating them. How is it possible that the Vietnamese, with about 50 million people (in the north of today's unified country) was able to defeat the greatest powers wielded against them? This is a question to ponder as Vietnam asserts itself as an increasingly powerful economy. My knowledge and awareness of Vietnam were colored by the Vietnam War. As an 18-year-old, I submitted documentation regarding eligibility for the military’s draft system. I received a deferral based on my advanced studies but was acutely aware of the fierce opposition the war engendered on American streets and university campuses. I describe this divisive setting, culminating in young men deciding to evade the draft by emigrating to Canada or other countries. That departure was heart-wrenching, considering that forced exit a permanent closure to American citizenship. President Carter later pardoned these draft-dodgers, allowing them to return home. At the same time, however, those men who heeded the country's call to arms paid the price in injury and death. These veterans were furious at the unfairness of such a pardon. I describe this setting as well as the long-simmering and unresolved debate of American Prisoners of War (POWs) who may have been left behind and not repatriated. A special congressional commission was established to delve into these charges, but among Vietnamese war veterans, the charge and answer remain unresolved decades after the war ended. I describe my stepping on Vietnamese soil, itself a surreal experience, for the first time, but as a civilian. If fate had decreed otherwise, I might have been in the country many years earlier, and certainly not by way of a modern cruise ship, welcomed by song and smile. Vietnam is an amazing country. Its people are like no other on our planet. I share my wonder and respect for these unique people in this volume, trying to capture their presence and their gift of firmest resolve.

Here is the first scholarly book-length analysis of Communist Vietnam's political system. Taking advantage of the unprecedented wealth of revealing documentary material published in Vietnam since 1985, Gareth Porter offers new insights into the functioning of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and its management of the Vietnamese economy and society. He examines the evolution of the system from the time the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was founded in 1945 through the 1986-1990 period of economic liberalization and cautious political reform by the successor regime, the SRV.

Through the voices of senior officials, teachers, soldiers, journalists, and artists, The Republic of Vietnam, 1955–1975, presents us with an interpretation of "South Vietnam" as a passionately imagined nation in the minds of ordinary Vietnamese, rather than merely as an expeditious political construct of the United States government. The moving and honest memoirs collected, translated, and edited here by Tuong Vu and Sean Fear describe the experiences of war, politics, and everyday life for people from many walks of life during the fraught years of Vietnam's Second Republic, leading up to and encompassing what Americans generally call the "Vietnam War." The voices gift the reader a sense of the authors' experiences in the Republic and their ideas about the nation during that time. The light and careful editing hand of Vu and Fear reveals that far from a Cold War proxy struggle, the conflict in Vietnam featured a true ideological divide between the communist North and the non-communist South.

Since the 1950s, the domestic politics of the Republic of Vietnam (RVN) has puzzled outside observers. To these external analysts, the American-backed regime seemed to be plagued by instability and factionalism for no apparent reason. Their bewilderment, however, has obscured a deep and complex history. In Disunion, Nu-Anh Tran shows how factional struggles in the Saigon-based republic reflected serious disagreements about political ideas at a pivotal moment in the lead-up to the Vietnam War. The book traces the emergence of Vietnam’s anticommunist nationalists back to the struggle for independence and explores how their alliances were tested and then broken during the rule of the RVN’s first president, Ngô Đình Diệm. The anticommunists rejected the authoritarianism and ideology of the Vietnamese communists and dreamed of building an independent, democratic government that would unite the Vietnamese nation. The RVN was supposed to be the fulfillment of this long-cherished vision. But discord soon erupted among the anticommunists. Politicians fiercely debated to what extent the government should be democratic and which groups had a legitimate place in political life. The unresolved disagreements provoked intense and continuous infighting that troubled the RVN throughout the regime’s existence. Ultimately, the animosity undermined any possibility of realizing the anticommunists’ shared vision for the country. Based on previously neglected primary sources and extensive research in Vietnamese and American archives, Disunion paints a rich and sensitive portrayal of leaders and activists in the RVN. Anticommunist nationalists were deeply devoted to their homeland and inspired by forward-looking visions, but they were also hobbled by their failure to live up to their lofty ideals. By examining these historical figures on their own terms, the book offers a fresh perspective on the political history of South Vietnam that has remained misunderstood to this day.
