Description



About the Book




Everyone knows Vietnam for its turbulent environment during the second half of the 20th century, but few know that archaeologists believe that civilization there existed as far back as the Bronze Age. Vietnam's history runs rampant with clashing dynasties, civil wars and power struggles between the North and South, and conflicts with neighboring and other countries. First ruled under China's close watch for centuries, Vietnam fell under conflicting commands of France and Japan during the 19th and 20th centuries-finally leading to the split of North and South Vietnam, and ultimately, the Vietnam War. Today, Vietnam still struggles with its scars from the past, but is slowly emerging as its own country, independent of China and France. An essential addition for high school and public library shelves, The History of Vietnam is the only reference book to examine Vietnam's complete history, from the 2nd century BCE to the present.

Review Quotes




"Quick and valuable reference material, such as a timeline of historical events and a synopsis of notable people in a country's history, is available in the featured volumes. In addition, a brief glossary, a bibliographic essay, and an index end each book (Reviewed with The History of Haiti)." --MultiCultural Review

"The Greenwood Histories of the Modern Nations titles are a very good series of concise, analytical histories of many nations of the world. The author . . . brings an international dimension to his undertaking. . . . This entire series is a useful source that all libraries serving novice audiences should consider." --ARBA
