"The Communist Road to Power in Vietnam is the best book of its kind to appear so far, taking us skilfully from Ho Chi Minh's early wanderings in search of enlightenment, to People's Army tanks bashing through the gates of Saigon's presidential palace on April 30, 1975.” "required reading for anyone with a serious interest in our most recent foreign involvement." “Duiker has done fine work in combing through these mind-numbing sources to produce, within its limitations, a useful history of the Vietnamese party's rise and its final victory.” "This is an original and important study of the Communist movement in Vietnam." Belongs to Series
In this new edition of his widely acclaimed study, William Duiker has revised and updated his analysis of the Communist movement in Vietnam from its formation in 1930 to the dilemmas facing its leadership in the post-Cold War era. Making use of newly available documentary sources and recent Western scholarship, the author reevaluates Communist revolutionary strategy during the Vietnam War. Based on primary materials in several languages, this respected work is essential for an understanding of Vietnam in the twentieth century. No library descriptions found. |
