Sacred War: Nationalism and Revolution In A Divided Vietnam

This inexpensive supplement is the first text to be published in English that provides a history of the Vietnam War from the perspective of North Vietnam. Professor Duiker is one of the English speaking world's foremost authorities on this period of Vietnamese history and is a former foreign service officer posted in Vietnam. Based on recent scholarship and evidence, this book includes Vietnamese documents and research available to very few scholars. The book does not adopt a political bias as to the rights and wrongs of the war, but to explain why it happened. Quotes are sprinkled throughout the book to show how the Vietnamese felt about the events that were taking place around them, and why they decided to behave the way they did. Written for the general reader, this lively account of ''the other side'' includes distinctive photographs and sources.William Duiker is the author of 'Sacred War: Nationalism and Revolution In A Divided Vietnam', published 1994 under ISBN 9780070180307 and ISBN 007018030X.
