A multifaceted history of Ho Chi Minh’s climactic victory over French colonial might that foreshadowed America’s experience in Vietnam On May 7, 1954, when the bullets stopped and the air stilled in Dien Bien Phu, there was no doubt that Vietnam could fight a mighty colonial power and win. After nearly a decade of struggle, a nation forged in the crucible of war had achieved a victory undreamed of by any other national liberation movement. The Road to Dien Bien Phu tells the story of how Ho Chi Minh turned a ragtag guerrilla army into a modern fighting force capable of bringing down the formidable French army. Taking readers from the outbreak of fighting in 1945 to the epic battle at Dien Bien Phu, Christopher Goscha shows how Ho transformed Vietnam from a decentralized guerrilla state based in the countryside to a single-party communist state shaped by a specific form of “War Communism.” Goscha discusses how the Vietnamese operated both states through economics, trade, policing, information gathering, and communications technology. He challenges the wisdom of counterinsurgency methods developed by the French and still used by the Americans today, and explains why the First Indochina War was arguably the most brutal war of decolonization in the twentieth century, killing a million Vietnamese, most of them civilians. Panoramic in scope, The Road to Dien Bien Phu transforms our understanding of this conflict and the one the United States would later enter, and sheds new light on communist warfare and statecraft in East Asia today.

For many Westerners, Hanoi evokes memories only of war and bitter loss. But Hanoi is much more than the capital of Vietnamese communism. Ancient seat of the royal house, then center of the French colonial empire in Indochina, and finally birthplace of Vietnamese independence, Hanoi is today a thriving urban center with a rich history all its own. Georges Boudarel and Nguyen Van Ky paint a vivid portrait of a city that is now awakening to the modern era. Together they reveal Hanoi in its myriad facets, from the aromas of its traditional cuisine to its destruction in wartime to the modern era of motorcycles and movie theaters. Part history, part paean, this book takes us into the heart of a city just emerging from the storms of the twentieth century.

This book analyzes why Indians have been made invisible in Vietnamese society and historiography. It argues that their invisibilization originates in the formulaic metaphor Vietnamese nation-makers have used to portray Indians in their quest for national sovereignty and socialism. The book presents a complex view on colonial legacies in Vietnam which suggests that Vietnamese nation-makers associate Indians with colonialism and capitalism, ultimately viewed as "non-socialist" and "non-hegemonic" state structures. Furthermore, the book demonstrates how Vietnamese nation-makers achieve the overriding socialist and independent goal of historically differing Indians from Vietnamese nationalisms whilst simultaneously making them invisible. In addition to primary Vietnamese texts which demonstrate the performativity of language and the Vietnamese traditional belief in writing as a sharp weapon for national and class struggles, the author utilizes interviews with Indians and Vietnamese authorities in charge of managing the Indian population. Bringing to the surface the ways through which Vietnamese intellectuals have invisibilized the Indians for the sake of the visibility of national hegemony and prosperity, this book will be of interest to scholars of Southeast Asian Studies and South Asian Studies, Vietnam Studies, including nation-building, literature, and language.

About the book Dear Reader. So, I have visited five continents, four homelands of the most famous ancient cultures, three biggest countries. It was my dream when I was a little girl and now I have traveled. Also, something urged me to write my feeling, impression of those travels and I want to share with friends, especially want to share with young friends who is hoping about new lands. This book is not a guide-book to travel. It also was not a list of all my travels or all countries where I came. This book was a collection of my experience, impression and feeling of countries, regions where I visited. It included joy, worry, anxiety, surprise and disappointment, suddenness and interest…Would be more useful when the book was written by bilingual: Vietnamese and English. These bilingual pages could make more enthusiasm and self-confident when you are thinking about trips, preparing or traveling in somewhere. Honestly, when I started writing stories in English, I was unself-confident and knew that I should study so much. One American author, he is my friend, who edited my first stories, laughed when I told that sometimes my English could be “silly” because I was not an American. He said if I though that every American could speak and write English very well then it was not true; United States of America was the country of many people from other countries. It seemed as their “silly” English could make freshness and riches of American-English. It was accepted like as a factor of language development. In this book, feeling and experience of travels spread from near to far, step by step, in five sections. The first section included stories of Asian travels with the starting point was a story of Hanoi, my native city. The second section was my impression in Australia. My experience and feeling of travels in Europe were presented in the third section. The fourth section was stories of mysterious land - Egypt. The last section included stories of my travel in USA, the country with distance is half of the earth from Vietnam. Feeling of a oversea travel started from apply for entry visa. Every time I received a new visa on my passport, I got special feeling. It seemed that a door opened in front of my eyes, step by step, with new things. “Visa” also was the name of a story in this book. For many Vietnamese, “visa” (English word) more familiar than “thi thuc” (Vietnamese word). Therefore, VISA is the name of this book. When the book “Visa” is published, it can bring to me the similiar feeling, it opens door for next books with new travels and new others. The world is a big village. Please, let go and come, try and feel. Thank so much for my friends, who helped me in nice travels and helped me to complete this book. Thank Google’s help to transfer this book to Readers. Thank Reader. Author Nguyen Quy Minh Hien Giới thiệu về sách Bạn đọc thân mến. Thế là tôi đã thực hiện được ước nguyện từ thời bé thơ: đặt chân đến năm châu lục, bốn xứ sở quê hương của những nền văn hóa cổ xưa nổi tiếng và ba cường quốc. Rồi một điều nữa cứ thôi thúc trong tôi là ghi lại những cảm nhận và trải nghiệm của mình về những chuyến đi này cùng mong muốn được chia sẻ với các bạn, đặc biệt là các bạn trẻ đang mơ về những miền đất lạ. Quyển sách này không phải một tài liệu hướng dẫn du lịch. Nó cũng không liệt kê ra tất cả các chuyến đi hay tất cả các quốc gia mà tôi đã đến. Quyển sách này là tập hợp những trải nghiệm, ấn tượng và cảm nhận của tôi về những miền đất khác nhau: có vui thích, có lo âu, có trăn trở, có ngạc nhiên thất vọng, có bất ngờ thú vị… Sẽ hữu ích hơn khi những trải nghiệm này được thể hiện bằng cả hai thứ tiếng: Việt và Anh. Những trang song ngữ này có thể sẽ giúp bạn thêm hưng phấn và tự tin khi bạn đang nghĩ về những chuyến đi, đang chuẩn bị hành trang hoặc đang trong một cuộc viễn du nào đó. Thú thật, khi bắt đầu viết các chuyện ngắn bằng tiếng Anh, tôi cũng không tự tin cho lắm và biết rằng mình phải học hỏi nhiều. Một tác giả người Mỹ, người bạn mà tôi nhờ đọc và biên tập giúp những bài đầu tiên, đã cười phá lên khi tôi nói rằng câu chữ tiếng Anh của tôi có thể “ngô nghê” bởi tôi không phải là người Mỹ. Rồi anh bạn tôi giải thích rằng không phải người Mỹ nào cũng sử dụng tốt tiếng Anh. Thêm nữa Hợp chủng quốc Hoa kỳ là quốc gia của những người đến từ nhiều miền đất khác nhau. Có vẻ như cách dùng tiếng Anh đôi khi “ngô nghê” của họ đã khiến cho tiếng Anh-Mỹ trở nên tươi mới và phong phú hơn. Điều đó được chấp nhận như những nhân tố cho sự phát triển ngôn ngữ. Trong quyển sách nay, cảm nhận và trải nghiệm về các chuyến đi sẽ được trải ra từ gần đến xa trong năm phần. Những câu chuyện về các chuyến đi tới các nước châu Á được giới thiệu trong phần thứ nhất với câu chuyện đầu tiên là về Hà Nội, thành phố quê hương tôi. Phần hai là những ấn tượng về Australia. Tiếp theo là phần ba với rất nhiều cảm xúc và trải nghiệm tại châu Âu.. Sự quyến rũ của miền đất bí ẩn đầy huyền thoại Ai Cập được thể hiện trong phần bốn. Phần cuối, phần thứ năm, là những câu chuyện ở Hoa Kỳ, xứ sở cờ hoa cách xa Việt Nam nửa vòng trái đất. Trải nghiệm về một chuyến xuất ngoại được cảm nhận từ ngay khi làm thủ tục visa. Mỗi khi nhận được quyển hộ chiếu đã đóng dấu visa nhập cảnh tôi lại có một cảm xúc đặc biệt, dường như một cánh cửa đang dần mở ra trước mắt mình những điều mới mẻ. Đó cũng là tên của một chuyện trong quyển sách này. Chữ “visa” thậm chí quen thuộc với nhiều người Việt hơn cả chữ “thị thực”. Bởi lẽ đó, tôi đặt tên cho quyển sách này là VISA, một cái tên ngắn gọn nhưng gợi nhắc nhiều về những chuyến đi. Có thể quyển VISA này khi xuất bản cũng sẽ mang đến cho tôi cảm nhận giống như việc mở ra cánh cửa cho những quyển sách tiếp theo và nhiều chuyến đi với những điều mới mẻ khác. Thế giới là một ngôi làng lớn. Xin hãy đi và đến, trải nghiệm và cảm nhận. Cảm ơn rất nhiều những người bạn đã giúp tôi có những chuyến đi tuyệt vời và giúp tôi thực hiện quyển sách này. Cảm ơn Google đã giúp đưa quyển sách này đến bạn đọc. Xin cảm ơn Bạn đọc. Tác giả Nguyễn Quý Minh Hiền

"George Dutton has written the first detailed Western-language study of the Tây So’n movement, which permanently altered Vietnam’s political trajectory. But in so doing, he also provides a sensitive social and cultural analysis of the pre-1800 Vietnamese-speaking world as a whole, and indeed one of the most detailed descriptions of any late 18th-century society in Southeast Asia." —Victor Lieberman, University of Michigan "It is difficult to overstate the significance of George Dutton’s terrific new book. The Tây So’n Uprising represents the first serious western-language account of the intricate sequence of political developments that define the Tây So’n era and that arguably mark the onset of modernity in Vietnam. In addition to providing a vividly evocative narrative of the complex political history of the period, Dutton offers lucid and judicious interpretations of the origins, evolution and downfall of the uprising and of its consequences for a wide range of social groups, political forces and ethnic communities. The level of research and historical craftsmanship is superb, and Dutton’s frequent reflections on relevant theoretical and historiographical issues make for fascinating reading. In short, this is a stunning accomplishment and a major contribution to the study of Vietnamese history and historiography." —Peter Zinoman, University of California, Berkeley The Tây So’n uprising (1771–1802) was a cataclysmic event that profoundly altered the eighteenth-century Vietnamese political and social landscape. This groundbreaking book offers a new look at an important and controversial era. George Dutton follows three brothers from the hamlet of Tây So’n as they led a heterogeneous military force that ousted ruling families in both halves of the divided Vietnamese territories and eventually toppled the 350-year-old Lè dynasty. Supplementing Vietnamese primary sources with extensive use of archival European missionary accounts, he explores the dynamics of an event that affected every region of the country and every level of society. Tracing the manner in which the Tây So’n leaders transformed an inchoate uprising into a new political regime, Dutton challenges common depictions of the Tây So’n brothers as visionaries or revolutionaries. Instead, he reveals them as political opportunists whose worldview remained constrained by their provincial origins and the exigencies of ongoing warfare and political struggles.

Sources of Vietnamese Tradition provides an essential guide to two thousand years of Vietnamese history and a comprehensive overview of the society and state of Vietnam. Strategic selections illuminate key figures, issues, and events while building a thematic portrait of the country's developing territory, politics, culture, and relations with neighbors. The volume showcases Vietnam's remarkable independence in the face of Chinese and other external pressures and respects the complexity of the Vietnamese experience both past and present. The anthology begins with selections that cover more than a millennium of Chinese dominance over Vietnam (111 B.C.E.–939 C.E.) and follows with texts that illuminate four centuries of independence ensured by the Ly, Tran, and Ho dynasties (1009–1407). The earlier cultivation of Buddhism and Southeast Asian political practices by the monarchy gave way to two centuries of Confucian influence and bureaucratic governance (1407–1600), based on Chinese models, and three centuries of political competition between the north and the south, resolving in the latter's favor (1600–1885). Concluding with the colonial era and the modern age, the volume recounts the ravages of war and the creation of a united, independent Vietnam in 1975. Each chapter features readings that reveal the views, customs, outside influences on, and religious and philosophical beliefs of a rapidly changing people and culture. Descriptions of land, society, economy, and governance underscore the role of the past in the formation of contemporary Vietnam and its relationships with neighboring countries and the West.
