Vietnamese History

A Vietnam War Reader

An essential new resource for students and teachers of the Vietnam War, this concise collection of primary sources opens a valuable window on an extraordinarily complex conflict. The materials gathered here, from both the American and Vietnamese sides, remind readers that the conflict touched the lives of many people in a wide range of social and political situations and spanned a good deal more time than the decade of direct U.S. combat. Indeed, the U.S. war was but one phase in a string of conflicts that varied significantly in character and geography. Michael Hunt brings together the views of the conflict's disparate players--from Communist leaders, Vietnamese peasants, Saigon loyalists, and North Vietnamese soldiers to U.S. policymakers, soldiers, and critics of the war. By allowing the participants to speak, this volume encourages readers to formulate their own historically grounded understanding of a still controversial struggle.

Cult, Culture, and Authority

"A unique and brilliant case study of a Vietnamese religious cult that traces its history, and the multiple significances with which Vietnamese society invested it, from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Painstaking but far from dull, this extraordinary book will be a must read for anthropologists, historians, and any other scholars interested in religion and culture." --Alexander Woodside, University of British Columbia

"This work is a major contribution to our understanding of life, religion, and culture in early modern and modern Vietnam. The author's expertise in the texts that she considers is quite special and reflects the increasing sophistication in the discovery and use of indigenous sources by a new generation of scholars. The book is strongly recommended for those interested in Vietnam, its culture and religion, its literature, and its history." --John Whitmore, University of Michigan
