This book will stand tall among the many studies examining the relations between the United States and Vietnam. Although it does not address directly the issue of the U.S. intervention in Vietnam, it does, nevertheless, give it more depth by offering a thorough survey, a clear narrative, and a cogent analysis of the "image" that the Vietnamese people formed of the United States and the American people of Vietnam from 1919 to 1950. To reach that goal, Mark Philip Bradley has read hundreds of books in several different languages, consulted archival depositories in Vietnam, the United States, Great Britain, and France, interviewed dozens of personalities, and examined tons of newspapers, journals, personal records, memoirs, and published documents. |
