Publisher Synopsis
'By focusing on 'youths', the future of a nation, and 'education', often described as a powerful weapon which can change the world, Olga Dror has opened a new window for our understanding of the Indochina wars and makes a significant contribution to the historiography of the warring years.' Ang Cheng Guan, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 'By bringing to light the sharply contrasting political education and experiences of youths in the two Vietnams, Olga Dror's pathbreaking and masterful study provides a key to understanding both the secret of Hanoi's victory in the civil war and the postwar failure of communism in Vietnam.' Tuong Vu, University of Oregon '... thoughtful, extensively researched and unflinchingly presented analysis, highly recommended especially for public and college library World History collections.' Midwest Book Review Bookwatch '... Making Two Vietnams is a remarkable work. Dror has made a significant and trailblazing contribution to our understanding of the politics and practice of educating Vietnamese youth in the critical years of the Second Indochina War. Her analyses of Vietnamese schools in China and of hippie culture in the RVN break substantial new ground. One hopes that her work will spark further interest in pursuing the comparative social and cultural history of Vietnam during this critical period.' Wynn Gadkar-Wilcox, H-Diplo '... Making Two Vietnams is an extraordinary work ... [Dror's] energetic and imaginative research has resulted in a book that deserves to be widely read.' Patricia Pelley, Cross-Currents Read more...
