Vietnam and the Indochina Conflict
Vietnam and the Indochina conflict by John Wood
In Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, as in many countries during the post-colonial era, Communism was strongly identified with nationalism as a means of liberation from foreign domination. Set in the Cold War era, Vietnam and the Indochina Conflict highlights the emergence of new and independent nations, rather than the Great Powers themselves. It focuses on thirty years of conflict in Indochina, from 1945 to 1975, and examines how the people of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos reacted to French colonialism and subsequent American intervention.
