Product Description

Book Description

This supplementary book provides a history of the Vietnam War from the perspective of North Vietnam. Professor Duiker is one of the English speaking world's foremost authorities on this period of Vietnamese history and is a former foreign service officer posted in Vietnam. Based on recent scholarship and evidence, this book includes Vietnamese documents and research available to very few scholars. Quotes are sprinkled throughout the book to show how the Vietnamese felt about the events that were taking place around them, and why they decided to behave the way they did. Written for the general reader, this lively account of "the other side" includes distinctive photographs and sources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating account of the conflict from a new perspective, Dec 4 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Sacred War: Nationalism and Revolution In A Divided Vietnam (Paperback)
You won't find the information you get in "Sacred War" in many other books. Whereas most Vietnam literature concentrates on American decision-making, this book reminds us that there was another side to the Vietnam War. A very detailed account of Vietminh and Viet Cong thinking and insightful as into why we didn't win the war.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative and easy to use, Feb 13 2007
By C. Strautnieks "jumper84" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sacred War: Nationalism and Revolution In A Divided Vietnam (Paperback)
I got this book for my history class and have found it to be very informative and gives more than one point of view on the events it covers. (the only thing I find distracting is that the binding broke down right away - this happened with many other students who got their books from various places). The index is handy and the abbreviations key is helpful.

This review is from: Sacred War: Nationalism and Revolution In A Divided Vietnam (Paperback)
This is a great book, combine reading this book with a book or two written by Vietnam authors and you'll have a good picture of the war. Throw in "A Bright And Shining Lie" and you're damn near an expert.
