Beskrivning

Through the voices of senior officials, teachers, soldiers, journalists, and artists, The Republic of Vietnam, 1955–1975, presents us with an interpretation of "South Vietnam" as a passionately imagined nation in the minds of ordinary Vietnamese, rather than merely as an expeditious political construct of the United States government.The moving and honest memoirs collected, translated, and edited here by Tuong Vu and Sean Fear describe the experiences of war, politics, and everyday life for people from many walks of life during the fraught years of Vietnam's Second Republic, leading up to and encompassing what Americans generally call the "Vietnam War." The voices gift the reader a sense of the authors' experiences in the Republic and their ideas about the nation during that time. The light and careful editing hand of Vu and Fear reveals that far from a Cold War proxy struggle, the conflict in Vietnam featured a true ideological divide between the communist North and the non-communist South.

Recensioner i media

The Republic of Vietnam is a primer and a demand for a more comprehensive, Vietnamese-written works of history...Thanks to Tuong Vu and Sean Fear's efforts, the thoughts, impressions, and words of these pivotal individuals in South Vietnamese history have been preserved.(Diacritics) Overall, the volume paints an authentic if rosy picture of South Vietnamese efforts to forge an enduring state and society for themselves. The volume should provide excellent teaching materials for undergraduateand graduate-level courses on Vietnamese history.(Pacific Affairs)
