The American experience in Vietnam divided us as a nation and eroded our confidence in both the morality and the effectiveness of our foreign policy. Yet our understanding of this tragic episode remains superficial because, then and now, we have never grasped the passionate commitment with which the Vietnamese clung to and fought over their own competing visions of what Vietnam was and what it might become. To understand the war, we must understand the Vietnamese, their culture, and their ways of looking at the world. Neil L. Jamieson, after many years of living and working in Vietnam, has written the book that provides this understanding. Jamieson paints a portrait of twentieth-century Vietnam. Against the background of traditional Vietnamese culture, he takes us through the saga of modern Vietnamese history and Western involvement in the country, from the coming of the French in 1858 through the Vietnam War and its aftermath. Throughout his analysis, he allows the Vietnamese—both our friends and foes, and those who wished to be neither—to speak for themselves through poetry, fiction, essays, newspaper editorials and reports of interviews and personal experiences. By putting our old and partial perceptions into this new and broader context, Jamieson provides positive insights that may perhaps ease the lingering pain and doubt resulting from our involvement in Vietnam. As the United States and Vietnam appear poised to embark on a new phase in their relationship, Jamieson's book is particularly timely.

Besides covering the amazing and adventurous life of Ho Chi Minh the work informs the reader of the oppressive French occupation of Vietnam and the later American interferance. With his father's encouragement he leaves his home for the West to discover its weakness. Ho ends up in Paris during WWI and makes contacts with the Communists. He manages to appear at the Versailles Conference after the War to appeal for his countries independence but he is thrown out of the meeting. He goes to Moscow arriving to take part in Lenin's funeral. With Michael Borodin he heads to China to help Chiang Kai Chek free itself of the foreign occupiers. However, Chiang turns on the Communists and attacks them. Running for his life Ho ends up in British, Hong Kong where he is hidden from the Kuomintang Chinese government of Chiang. With WWII Ho is in Vietnam leading the revolt against the French and then the Japanese. The revolutionary forces, the Viet Minh, need supplies and Ho goes to visit General Stillwell in Kuming. In an attempt to get Chiang Kai Chek to release supplies to the Viet Minh, Ho goes to meet the Generalissimo in Chungking. However, he is arrested and languishes for a year in a Chinese prison. With his release he returns to Vietnam and carries on the revolt. With the Wars end Hanoi and Saigon are in Viet Minh's hands and Ho begins to negotiate a peace with the French. The problem is that the French, with American support, turn their back on the settlement Ho negotiated and send in French troops. The United States gives all out support to the French but it leads to their defeat and they pull out of Vietnam in 1954. The U.S. pushed for a divided country and ignored the 1956 election calling for united country. With the influence of the China Lobby and Cardinal Spellman Deim is made President of South Vietnam. Ho and his men fight on and with their victory near at hand President Johnson uses the United States Navy to pull a phony stunt to bring in American ground troops. In the middle of the fighting Ho dies but he knew victory was at hand. At the end of his life he was the same man as he was at the beginning. He was true to human virtues and his country.

A comprehensive guide to understanding Vietnam's long and tumultuous history A Brief History of Vietnam explores the turbulent history of a land that has risen from the ashes of war to become the newest Asian tiger economy. This book expertly examines the history of a people and a nation with ancient roots which only took its current shape in the 19th century under French colonial rule, and its current name in 1945. Before that, Vietnam was known by many names, under many rulers. Located in the geographic center of Southeast Asia, the country we call "Vietnam" was ruled by China, then by a series of Vietnamese emperors, and by the French. A devastating, decades-long conflict for independence ensued, ending with the conclusion of the Vietnam War in 1975. Key topics discussed in this fascinating book include: China's ancient conquest of Vietnam and the millennia-long struggle of the Vietnamese for independence from their powerful neighbor to the north The reign of the Nguyen dynasty, the last dynasty to rule Vietnam, with its capital at the ancient city of Hue, today a UNESCO World Heritage Site The story of Ho Chi Minh, educated in France, who attended the Treaty of Versailles to advocate for independence and became Vietnam's first president after the French were defeated The country's miraculous emergence from three decades of war and how it has embarked on the path to becoming one of the world's fastest-growing economies today Journalist Bill Hayton's accessible prose makes A Brief History of Vietnam an essential study of a complex culture at the heart of Southeast Asia--and the roots of its current economic dynamism.
