Vietnam

by Tony Zurlo

This book explains how seventy five years of colonial rule and three decades of wars against foreign superpowers inhibited Vietnam's development. After unification in 1975, the Vietnam government clung to an archaic communist doctrine that obstructed progress. Today, however, young Vietnamese are turning to Western culture for models to revive their stagnant economy and increase their political freedom.
