In Vietnam, Christopher Goscha tells the full history of Vietnam, from antiquity to the present day. Generations of emperors, rebels, priests, and colonizers left complicated legacies in this remarkable country. Periods of Chinese, French, and Japanese rule reshaped and modernized Vietnam, but so too did the colonial enterprises of the Vietnamese themselves as they extended their influence southward from the Red River Delta.

Over the centuries, numerous kingdoms, dynasties, and states have ruled over what is now Vietnam. Trinh and Nguyen military lords led competing states in the 17th century. French colonizers grouped Vietnam with Laos and Cambodia in an Indochinese Union, but governed Vietnam itself as three separate territorial units. The bloody Cold War-era and the American-backed Republic of Vietnam was only the most recent instance when war divided and transformed Vietnam.

A major achievement, Vietnam offers the grand narrative of the country's complex past and the creation of the modern state of Vietnam. At a time when more and more visitors come to Vietnam and Southeast Asia is again at the center of intense global rivalries, this is the definitive single-volume history for anyone seeking to understand Vietnam today.

This is the best history of Vietnam I have read. It covers all aspects but focuses mainly on politics and culture. It emphasizes the many different views and directions taken by the Vietnamese. Most histories of Vietnam are written as if the center of Vietnam’s history is the war between North Vietnam and the U.S. This history certainly doesn’t ignore the war, but takes a broader view. My only complaint is that the post-1980 coverage is spotty.

Best history of modern Vietnam before 1980

I love the beauty of England, Vatican City, Spain, Brazil, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Cuba and my lovely friends. Kisses and love to you all. I am so lucky to be surrounded by such beauty.

For me it was an enlightening book, the take freedom was slanted, French rule and American invasion, just a fact, but communists what about freedom?

Enlightening

Many English language histories of Vietnam focus on the American war, but Goscha covers some history before colonialism, a thorough treatment of the French colonial period, and history since 1975 including trends in culture and governance. The level of detail varies throughout the book and some sections are very dense with names that won’t have significance to casual western readers.

In combination with the writing, the narration is a bit flat, but the book was informative.

Informative, a bit dry
