![]() ![]() Their relationship with neighboring countries - Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia - has been tense with warfare and animosity. Their religion remains to this day primarily ancestor worship / Confuscism with a smattering of Buddhism and Catholicism. ![]() The Vietnamese are a proud people that issue from southern China and live on the eastern coast of the Indochinese peninsula. The second part is more detailed on the American War, ending as I said in '72 after the Tet Offensive and Nixon's schizophrenic intensification of the war while withdrawing troops. As stated in the title, the book is split into two parts: the first part is an attempt to explain the Vietnamese as a people before colonization, during the French Indochina period and during the two Indochina wars. A triple crown winner (Bancroft Prize, National Book Award and Pulitzer), it is an impressive piece of scholarship and analysis. Outstanding analysis of the Vietnamese people and the American War from Frances FitzGerald written in 1972, so 3 years before the fall of Saigon. ![]()
