{"product_id":"vietnam-a-portrait-of-its-people-at-war-9781845118532","title":"Vietnam: A Portrait of Its People at War","description":"The American experience during the Vietnam conflict is universally known: the brutalization of the US fighting men, the drug abuse and the trauma. Even today the very word 'Vietnam' is too often interpreted as referring to this conflict (and specifically the American perception of it) rather than to the country and its people. The view from the other side - the Vietcong and North Vietnamese - has been virtually ignored. In this remarkable piece of oral history the story emerges of the ordinary people of both North and South Vietnam, of the Vietcong guerrilla fighters and terrorists, North Vietnamese soldiers and cadres, monks, opposition leaders, propaganda chiefs and village secretaries. \u003ci\u003e'Vietnam': A Portrait of its People at War\u003c\/i\u003e provides an account of dedication and heroism at all levels and also of the brutality and trauma faced by a people in the grip of revolution and war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-58845\"\u003eDavid Chanoff\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-343257\"\u003eDoan Van Toai\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.85h x 5.07w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845118532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845118537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS027070\"\u003eWars \u0026amp; Conflicts | Vietnam War\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS048000\"\u003eAsia | Southeast Asia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Chanoff\u003c\/b\u003e has written the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe New Republic\u003c\/i\u003e and is author of several books, including a collaboration with Ariel Sharon on his autobiography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoan Van Toai\u003c\/b\u003e was a student political leader and anti-war activist in Vietnam, for which he was imprisoned on several occasions.
