Recenzii

'An informative, impressive, and invaluable study of North Vietnam's conduct of its war with the United States. A major contribution!' George C. Herring, University of Kentucky
'Finally a concise, penetrating, and insightful account of the Vietnam War as seen from the other side. Relying on a wealth of new Vietnamese sources, Pierre Asselin does what few have ever achieved: he has provided a highly readable general history of communist Vietnam's "American War.' Christopher Goscha, Université du Québec à Montréal
'From the fog of a bitter and divisive thirty-year war, Pierre Asselin stands at the forefront of scholars helping to illuminate the reasons North Vietnam prevailed in its American War. Vietnamese history, personalities, politics, military strategies, and transcending ideologies are brilliantly distilled in this insightful analysis of war, its aftermath, and the eventual peace.' Larry Berman, University of California, Davis
'Through extensive use of Vietnamese language sources, Pierre Asselin's valuable and perceptive explanation of the war - its origins, conduct, outcome, and legacy - provides a long-needed analysis centering on Hanoi from start to finish and on how this small nation prevailed in a test of wills with the powerful United States.' David L. Anderson, California State University, Monterey Bay
'Professor Asselin expertly and straightforwardly relates the Vietnamese communist experience - and the reasons the war turned out the way it did. Offering a unique and impressively informed and informative perspective, Vietnam's American War: A History is an extraordinary study of exceptional scholarship and unreservedly recommended for both community and academic library Vietnam War collections and supplemental studies lists.' Midwest Book Review
'It is an extraordinary piece of scholarship, with revelations in every chapter.' History Today
'Teachers should consider assigning this book to their students alongside one of the many general histories of the war which focus on the American perspective … Asselin has written a fine book, and we will be returning to it for years to come.' Andrew J. Gawthorpe, H-Diplo
'This is an excellent book that provides readers with a sense of the war from the perspective of Hanoi, with greater clarity and in a more accessible format than any other book. Asselin's account of Party politics and policy-making in Hanoi leading up to and during the war is the real strength of this book. Here his research competence and analytical ability are displayed with full force. I recently used this book with undergraduate students; they found the book to be readable, interesting, and enlightening.' K. W. Taylor, H-Diplo
