The Penguin History of Modern Vietnam - Christopher Goscha
WINNER OF THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION S JOHN K. FAIRBANK PRIZESHORTLISTED FOR THE CUNDHILL HISTORY PRIZE 2017 This is the finest single-volume history of Vietnam in English. It challenges myths, and raises questions about the socialist republic s political future Guardian Powerful and compelling. Vietnam will be of growing importance in the twenty-first-century world, particularly as China and the US rethink their roles in Asia. Christopher Goscha s book is a brilliant account of that country s history. - Rana Mitter A vigorous, eye-opening account of a country of great importance to the world, past and future - Kirkus ReviewsOver the centuries the Vietnamese have beenboth colonizers themselves and the victims of colonization by others. Their country expanded, shrunk, split and sometimes disappeared, often under circumstances far beyond their control. Despite these often overwhelming pressures, Vietnam has survived as one of Asia s most striking and complex cultures.As more and more visitors come to this extraordinary country, there has been for some years a need for a major history - a book which allows the outsider to understand the many layers left by earlier emperors, rebels, priests and colonizers. Christopher Goscha s new work amply fills this role. Drawing on a lifetime of thinking about Indo-China, he has created a narrative which is consistently seen from inside Vietnam but never loses sight of the connections to the outside . As wave after wave of invaders - whether Chinese, French, Japanese or American - have been ultimately expelled, we see the terrible cost to the Vietnamese themselves. Vietnam s role in one of the Cold War s longest conflicts has meant that its past has been endlessly abused for propaganda purposes and it is perhaps only now that the events which created the modern state can be seen from a truly historical perspective.Christopher Goscha draws on the latest research and discoveries in Vietnamese, French and English. His book is a major achievement, describing both the grand narrative of Vietnam s story but also the byways, curiosities, differences, cultures and peoples that have done so much over the centuries to define the many versions of Vietnam.

Vietnam Fire Mission - Larry Allen Hilton
Vietnam Fire Mission reflects on Larry Hitonâ ™s time in the U.S. Marine Corps, initially enlisting at 18 with the belief that all Marines were infantrymen. However, upon completing boot camp, he was assigned to artillery as a cannoneer (MOS 0811), which was a significant surprise. In this first hand account Hilton explains that artillery units, while typically thought of as being behind the lines, were often directly targeted during the Vietnam War, where there were no front lines. Artillery positions were frequently attacked by mortars, snipers, and enemy forces, requiring Marines to defend themselves. The author describes the initial confusion among Marines in 1965, as many had no knowledge of Vietnam before being abruptly deployed there. Marines who had been stationed in the Pacific were quickly shipped to Vietnam, with some arriving without their proper gear. The deployment to Vietnam, especially in the early stages, caused frustration for those whose service was extended. Reflecting on his own experiences, the author recounts how the stress of war sometimes led to memory lapses. For instance, they struggled to recall the details of November 10, 1966, despite it being the U.S. Marine Corpsâ ™ birthday, only to later discover that they had participated in a ceremony in Vietnam that day. Hilton concludes that by acknowledging the challenges of recalling events accurately under the intense conditions of war he is able to share his story to the best of his ability to give the reader a glimpse in to one of the most contentious conflicts.

Poetic Writing and the Vietnam War in West Germany
In the 1960s and 1970s in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), or West Germany, newspaper readers and television viewers were appalled by terrible images of fires burning half a world away. The Vietnam War was a decisive catalyst for the era?s wider protest movements and gave rise to an ardent anti-war discourse. This discourse privileged writing in many forms. Within it, poetry and poetic writing were key; and because coverage of the conflict in Vietnam often focused on spectacular, destructive conflagrations ignited by hi-tech machines of war, their dominant trope was fire. Hundreds of poems and related writings about Vietnam circulated in the FRG, yet they are almost entirely forgotten today.Poetic Writing and the Vietnam War in West Germany uncovers and explores some of this rich production in order to present a new history of engaged poetic writing in the FRG in the 1960s and 1970s, and to draw out distinctive characteristics of wider protest culture. In doing so, it makes the case for attending to marginal, non-canonical or neglected literary and cultural forms, and for critical thinking about why they might, over time, have been obscured. This book offers, too, a case study for reflection on the representation of war, on ways in which German oppositional culture could imagine its others, and the ways in which other voices could speak to it in turn, and on the relationship of poetry to the historical world.Praise for Poetic Writing and the Vietnam War in West Germany The book?s strength lies in its broad approach that contextualises a historical nexus point and seeks to explain the meaning of ?Vietnam? for (West)Germany by exploring anti-war poetic responses by lesser-known German writers.

Afghanistan and the Vietnam Syndrome - Deepak Tripathi
Great powers have often found that military adventurism to force their will in distant lands comes with the risk of spending excessive military, economic, and moral capital to the extent that war is no longer sustainable. Written by a former BBC Afghanistan correspondent who set up the corporation s bureau in Kabul in the early 1990s, this book draws both from scholarly knowledge as well as first-hand insights on how the Americans met that fate in Vietnam, and the Soviets and Americans in Afghanistan. America s 1975 retreat from Vietnam was a consequential event, prompting US commentators to explain it as reluctance to get involved in foreign wars, a mindset described as the Vietnam Syndrome. As Deepak Tripathi points out, the Vietnam experience made the Americans determined to give the Soviets their own Vietnam. The 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and retreat after a decade of occupation, represented the revenge America sought. However, President George W. Bush s decision to invade Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks was the beginning of a long military venture that ended in retreat in 2021. Addressing an academic as well as a general audience, Tripathi explores parallels between wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam, and shows how the United States and the Soviet Union met the same fate.

Vietnam v éře západních velmocí (978-80-210-8492-6)
Elektronická kniha - ze série Spisy Filozofické fakulty Masarykovy univerzity, autor Ondřej Srba, 192 stran, česky Kniha popisuje moderní dějiny Vietnamu od 16. století do současnosti. Věnuje se rozvoji vietnamské státnosti v prekoloniálním období a svárům mezi dynastiemi Le a M?c a mocnými rody Tr?nh a Nguy?n. Po sjednocení za povstání dynastie Tây Son se nakonec v roce 1802 se zahraniční asistencí chopili moci Nguy?nové. Ti v druhé polovině 19. století podlehli tlaku Francie, která ve válce s Čínou získala nadvládu nad Vietnamem. Koloniální éra přinesla disproporční rozvoj, nárůst nespokojenosti a nacionalismu. Po 2. světové válce se Vietnam stal ohniskem válek o vliv západních států, SSSR a Číny. Obratnou politikou Vietnam obnovil lokální postavení a v citlivém poválečném období se modernizuje s důrazem na konzervativní konfuciánské hodnoty.

Vietnam vzdálený i blízký - Andrea Svobodová
Kniha je založena na narativní analýze životních biografií potomků Vietnamců žijících v Česku. Ukazuje, že životy těchto mladých lidí se odehrávají na pozadí tzv. transnacionálního sociálního prostoru, který se rozprostírá mezi dvěma geografickými regiony - Vietnamem a Českou republikou. Díky tomu jsou vystavováni souboru sociálních očekávání, kulturních hodnot a vzorců lidské interakce utvářených více než jedním politickým, ekonomickým a sociálním systémem. Popisuje také, jak tito lidé prostřednictvím mnohonásobně propojených sociálních sítí a vztahů proměňují kulturní praktiky, interpretace, zkušenosti a identity, čímž nabourávají představu jednoty identity, kultury a místa. Přestože primárním cílem práce je analyzovat, jak potomci Vietnamců operují na pozadí těchto transnacionalizovaných sociálních a kulturních kontextů, kniha se nevyhýbá ani samotným transnacionálním praktikám, jako jsou například návštěvy rodné země, zasílání remitencí nebo udržování kontaktů s rodinou a známými.

Why Vietnam - Margaret Colbert Brown
The reasons behind the USA s involvement in Vietnam remain a subject of extensive debate. Initially, America supported the French until their defeat at Dien Bien Phu, which then shifted to backing the South Vietnamese government due to fears of communism spreading throughout Southeast Asia. Why Vietnam delves into the myriad reasons for US involvement, examining theories that date back to 1918 when Woodrow Wilson ignored Ho Chi Minh s plea for independence at the Treaty of Versailles, through to Johnson s full commitment to the undeclared war, which restrained the military to a defensive role in protecting South Vietnam instead of an offensive one that would send troops across the DMZ into Laos and Cambodia. The questions of why the USA became involved, whether their involvement was justified, and if the war was ever winnable have been fiercely debated for over 50 years. This book seeks to address these whys by providing a thorough examination of all contributing factors, from presidential actions to foreign policy, and the social and political climates of the war era.

US Navy F-4 Phantom II Units of the Vietnam War 1969-73 - Peter E. Davies
A detailed study of one of the US s most famous post-war aircraft, the F-4 Phantom, which saw service in three branches of the US military during the Vietnam War.Although the F-4 Phantom II was the most important fighter-bomber to see action with all three American services during the Vietnam War, it was essentially a U.S. Navy design, and the carrier-borne squadron crews were its main operators in combat. The aircraft pioneered the use of long-range, radar-guided missiles in combat, although the majority of its Vietnam missions involved ground-attack with a variety of innovative ordnance. From 1968 to 1973 the Phantom II was the standard U.S. Navy fighter in Southeast Asia, having replaced several other types. Its performance and versatility enabled it to perform a variety of different missions, and switch roles as necessary, in the assault on some of the worldâ ™s most heavily defended territory.Including detailed colour profiles and first-person commentary from active participants in the F-4â ™s naval combat history, this is a detailed study of the U.S. armed servicesâ ™ most famous post-war fighter.

There was magic in Milton and Marilyn s working relationship. The trust and confidence they had in each other s capabilities was on full display in each photo.Greene passed in 1985, thinking his life s work was succumbing to the ravages of time. His eldest son, Joshua, began a journey to meticulously restore his father s legacy. A photographer himself, Joshua spent years researching ways to restore his father s photographs as well as cataloging and promoting Milton s vast body of work all over the world. As a result, Joshua established The Archives, a company committed to the restoration and preservation of photography.

The Huey in Vietnam - David Doyle
The design, development, and evolution of the Bell UH-1 Huey in combat during the Vietnam War. Few implements of war are as representative of the US presence in Vietnam as the Bell Huey UH-1-series helicopters. Whether serving in the role of troop transport for airborne assault, supply transports, aerial gunships, or medical evacuation, the Huey was seemingly everywhere. The versatile aircraft, officially the Iroquois, was affectionately known to all as the Huey, a name derived from its early model designation of HU-1A. The Huey, later redesignated UH-1, was a mainstay during America s presence in Vietnam, and 11 Huey crewmen earned the Medal of Honor. Carefully researched archival documents and More than 170 color and black-and-white photographs This comprehensive volume details the complete, colorful, and important history of this iconic helicopter and the men who flew it.

The Vietnam War - Geoffrey Wawro
“Remarkable… the best overview of America’s misadventure in Southeast Asia, and it is sure to become the standard one-volume book on the war.” – Thomas E. Ricks, New York Times The Vietnam War cast a shadow over the American psyche from the moment it began. In its time it sparked budget deficits, campus protests, and an erosion of US influence around the world. Long after the last helicopter evacuated Saigon, Americans have continued to battle over whether it was ever a winnable war. Based on thousands of pages of military, diplomatic, and intelligence documents, Geoffrey Wawro’s The Vietnam War offers a definitive account of a war of choice that was doomed from its inception. In devastating detail, Wawro narrates campaigns where US troops struggled even to find the enemy in the South Vietnamese wilderness, let alone kill sufficient numbers to turn the tide in their favor. Yet the war dragged on, prolonged by presidents and military leaders who feared the political consequences of accepting defeat. In the end, no number of young lives lost or bombs dropped could prevent America’s ally, the corrupt South Vietnamese regime, from collapsing the moment US troops retreated. Broad, definitive, and illuminating, The Vietnam War offers an unsettling, resonant story of the limitations of American power.

The Mammoth Book of the Vietnam War - Lewis Jon E.
By 1969, following the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu, over 500,000 US troops were â ˜in countryâ ™ in Vietnam. Before Americaâ ™s longest war had ended with the fall of Saigon in 1975, 450,000 Vietnamese had died, along with 36,000 Americans. The Vietnam War was the first rock â ™nâ ™ roll war, the first helicopter war with its doctrine of â ˜airmobilityâ ™, and the first television war; it made napalm and the defoliant Agent Orange infamous, and gave us the New Journalism of Michael Herr and others. It also saw the establishment of the Navy SEALs and Delta Force. At home, America fractured, with the peace movement protesting against the war; at Kent State University, Ohio National Guardsmen fired on unarmed students, killing four and injuring nine. Lewisâ ™s compelling selection of the best writing to come out of a war covered by some truly outstanding writers, both journalists and combatants, includes an eyewitness account of the first major battle between the US Army and the Peopleâ ™s Army of Vietnam at Ia Drang; a selection of letters home; Nicholas Tomalinâ ™s famous â ˜The General Goes Zapping Charlie Congâ ™; Robert Masonâ ™s â ˜R Râ ™, Studs Terkelâ ™s account of the police breaking up an anti-war protest; John Kifner on the shootings at Kent State; Ron Kovicâ ™s â ˜Born on the Fourth of Julyâ ™; John T.

Joshua Weissman: An Unapologetic Cookbook. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Weissman Joshua
A Weissman once said… “…can we please stop with the barrage of 2.3 second meals that only need 1 ingredient? I get it…we’re busy. But let’s refocus on the fact that beautifully crafted burgers don’t grow on trees.” Ironically this sounds a lot like he’s trying to convince you to cook, but he’s really not. Is this selling the cookbook? The point is that the food in this book is an invitation that speaks for itself. Great cooking does, and should, take time. Now is the time to double down and get your head in the cooking game. Or you know, don’t. Maybe get someone else to cook this stuff for you…that works too. How can you know if something is your favorite if 50 to 80 percent of the stuff you’ve been eating was made by someone else? Butter, condiments, cheese, pickles, patties, and buns. For a superior and potentially even life-changing experience, you can (and should, to be honest) make these from scratch. Create the building blocks necessary to make the greatest meal of your life. While you’re at it, give it the Joshua Weissman—or your own—twist. As Joshua would say, “If you don’t like blue cheese, then don’t use blue cheese.” From simple staples to gourmet to deep-fried, you are the master of your own kitchen, and you’ll make it all, on your terms. With no regrets, excuses, or apologies, Joshua Weissman will instruct you how with his irreverent humor, a little bit of light razzing, and over 100 perfectly delectable recipes. If you love to host and entertain; if you like a good project; if you crave control of your food; if fast food or the frozen aisle or the super-fast-super-easy cookbook keeps letting your tastebuds down; then Joshua Weissman: An Unapologetic Cookbook is your ideal kitchen companion.

From sourcing and butchering to dry ageing and curing, it challenges everything we thought we knew about the subject and invites readers to see fish for what it really is – an amazing, complex source of protein that can, and should, be treated with exactly the same nose-to-tail reverence as meat.Featuring more than 60 recipes for dozens of fish species ranging from Cod Liver Pate on Toast, Fish Cassoulet and Roast Fish Bone Marrow to – essentially – the Perfect Fish and Chips, The Whole Fish Cookbook will soon have readers seeing that there is so much more to a fish than just the fillet, and that there are more than just a handful of fish in the sea.

Elektronická kniha - Výlet do života vietnamské ženy žijící v Česku. - autor Duong Nguyen Jirásková, 240 stran Výlet do života vietnamské ženy žijící v ČeskuJsem banánové dítě – zvenku žlutá, uvnitř spíše bílá. Na svůj žluto-bílý svět se snažím dívat s nadhledem a psát o něm lehkým perem. Politicky nekorektní (sebe)ironie, švejkovský humor, nadsázka, prořízlá huba, která by ve Vietnamu byla okamžitě zalepena izolepou – to vše tvoří moji osobnost a knihu.

Vietnam - turistický průvodce
Vietnam - země s devadesáti miliony obyvatel - už dávno nepřitahuje turisty pouze pozůstatky vietnamsko-americké války. Většina z nich míří do hlavního města Hanoje a dále do Ho Či Minova Města. Vietnam ale nabízí daleko víc pamětihodností a pozoruhodných atrakcí. Za návštěvu rozhodně stojí věhlasné pagody a paláce, malebné vesničky, návštěva některého z národních parků a bezpochyby vás nadchne i odpočinek na některé z pláží skoro tři a půl tisíce kilometrů dlouhého pobřeží. V průvodci najdete mnoho tipů na kratší i několikadenní výlety, podrobné informace o ubytování a stravování a samozřejmě řadu map. Nechybí údaje o historii země, kultuře či přírodě. Slovníček na konci knihy vám bude vynikajícím společníkem, až se rozhodnete prohlédnout si krásy Vietnamu na vlastní oči.

Tatranka v Hanoji aneb Vietnam, můj paralelní svět - Lenka Kovářová
Poznat Vietnam zblízka, uvidět a hlavně prožít, jaký je… Tato netradičně pojatá knížka není klasickým cestopisem seznamujícím s památkami daného místa. Je to spíše „kniha oči i duši otevírající“, tvořená souborem „medailonků“ o Vietnamu a jeho obyvatelích. Jakýsi „pocitopis“ s řadou postřehů a údajů, kterých si klasický bedekr nevšímá a ani nemůže všimnout. Vyjeví se nám zde Vietnam a Vietnamci skuteční – ve světě reálném, ale plném někdy až surreálných zážitků. A my čtenáři si spolu s autorkou těchto cestopisných příběhů můžeme ono putování užívat. Žila zde dostatečně dlouho, aby se z Vietnamu stal její „paralelní svět“. Popis jejích příhod je velmi bezprostřední. A tak, když ona se těší z exotického jídla, jsme to i my, komu se sliny sbíhají, když se třese zimou (což je ve Vietnamu vzácnost), i nám začnou zuby drkotat, když ona si užívá divoké jízdy autobusem, jsme to my, kterým se opojně točí hlava. A spolu s autorkou se hlavně smějeme a usmíváme. Její postřehy jsou totiž neotřelé, zábavné, poetické, s citem pro paradox. To všechno je doplněno jemnou hrou s jazykem, ke kterému má jako česky píšící a v Čechách usedlá Slovenka (sama se považuje hlavně za Tatranku, neboť se narodila v Tatrách) osobitý přístup. Těží z jazykové blízkosti i rozdílnosti obou jazyků a obohacuje je trefnými novotvary. Zkrátka, čtenář se leccos nového dozví, dobře se naladí a zcela jistě se nebude nudit.

Navzdory cenzuře, zeleným mozkům velitelů a přísným vojenským předpisům se při jeho vysílání radiové vlny třásly pod náporem dobré huby a humoru.

Vietnam - Max Hastings
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERâ ˜His masterpieceâ ™ Antony Beevor, Spectatorâ ˜A masterful performanceâ ™ Sunday Timesâ ˜By far the best book on the Vietnam Warâ ™ Gerald Degroot, The Times, Book of the YearVietnam became the Western worldâ ™s most divisive modern conflict, precipitating a battlefield humiliation for France in 1954, then a vastly greater one for the United States in 1975. Max Hastings has spent the past three years interviewing scores of participants on both sides, as well as researching a multitude of American and Vietnamese documents and memoirs, to create an epic narrative of an epic struggle. He portrays the set pieces of Dienbienphu, the Tet offensive, the air blitz of North Vietnam, and less familiar battles such as the bloodbath at Daido, where a US Marine battalion was almost wiped out, together with extraordinary recollections of Ho Chi Minhâ ™s warriors. Here are the vivid realities of strife amid jungle and paddies that killed 2 million people.Many writers treat the war as a US tragedy, yet Hastings sees it as overwhelmingly that of the Vietnamese people, of whom forty died for every American. US blunders and atrocities were matched by those committed by their enemies. While all the world has seen the image of a screaming, naked girl seared by napalm, it forgets countless eviscerations, beheadings and murders carried out by the communists. The people of both former Vietnams paid a bitter price for the Northernersâ ™ victory in privation and oppression. Here is testimony from Vietcong guerrillas, Southern paratroopers, Saigon bargirls and Hanoi students alongside that of infantrymen from South Dakota, Marines from North Carolina, Huey pilots from Arkansas.No past volume has blended a political and military narrative of the entire conflict with heart-stopping personal experiences, in the fashion that Max Hastingsâ ™ readers know so well. The author suggests that neither side deserved to win this struggle with so many lessons for the 21st century about the misuse of military might to confront intractable political and cultural challenges. He marshals testimony from warlords and peasants, statesmen and soldiers, to create an extraordinary record.

The Study of Human Life - Joshua Bennett
**Winner of the Paterson Poetry Prize****Longlisted for the Griffin Prize and the Massachusetts Book Award****Soon to be adapted for screen by Lena Waithe and Warner Bros.**An award-winning collection and novella exploring the realm of speculative fiction, while addressing issues as varied as abolition, Black ecological consciousness, and the boundless promise of parenthoodAcross three sequences, Joshua Bennettâ ™s new book recalls and reimagines social worlds almost but not entirely lost, all while gesturing toward the ones we are building even now, in the midst of a state of emergency, together. Bennett opens with a set of autobiographical poems that deal with themes of family, life, death, vulnerability, and the joys and dreams of youth. The central section, â œThe Book of Mycah,â features an alternate history where Malcolm X is resurrected from the dead, as is a young black man shot by the police some fifty years later in Brooklyn. The final section of The Study of Human Life are poems that Bennett has written about fatherhood, on the heels of his own first child being born.Praise for Joshua Bennettâ ˜One of the brightest intellectual and political thinkers of a new generationâ ™ Jesse McCarthyâ ˜Bennett conjures a spirit of kinship that, illuminated by redolent imagery, borders on mythicâ ™ New Yorkerâ ˜Joshua Bennettâ ™s astounding, dolorous, rejoicing voice is indispensableâ ™ Tracy K Smith
