  • As a specialist of Southeast Asia, I am often asked to introduce a history of Vietnam that would treat evenly its diverse periods and give equal importance to its cultural and artistic aspects as to its political or military events. As often, I am embarrassed to answer that there is no such work written in English. I am, therefore, happy to introduce here A Story of VIỆT NAM, ISBN 0615365736. This book can provide a substantial reading material to students who are interested in Asian affairs. To the hyphenated Vietnamese, it represents a convenient reference tool to unveil the historical allusions and cultural insinuations they encounter almost every day at home. Finally, this book can also be sought after by the people who know so much already about Vietnam as a war but who would like to know more about a Vietnam which is a culture, a country and a people.
