Soft cover. Condition: New. 259 pages in Vietnamese : 23 cm. For the first time, Voices from the Second Republic of South Vietnam (1967-1975) is available fully translated into Vietnamese, providing critical documentation of the diverse careers of ten South Vietnamese officials, in their struggles to build and defend a constitutional democracy in the last years of the Vietnam War. The Republic of (South) Vietnam is commonly viewed as a unified entity throughout the two decades (195575) during which the United States was its main ally. However, domestic politics during that time followed a dynamic trajectory from authoritarianism to chaos to a relatively stable experiment in parliamentary democracy. The stereotype of South Vietnam that appears in most writings, both academic and popular, focuses on the first two periods to portray a caricature of a corrupt, unstable dictatorship and ignores what was achieved during the last eight years. The essays in Voices from the Second Republic of South Vietnam (19671975) come from those who strove to build a constitutional structure of representative government during a war for survival with a totalitarian state. Those committed to realizing a noncommunist Vietnamese future placed their hopes in the Second Republic, fought for it, and worked for its success. This book is a step in making their stories known. This new edition presents the original ten essays plus introduction by Keith W. Taylor fully translated into Vietnamese.…

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 522 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Bùi Công V¿n was born in C¿n Th¿, South Vietnam, in 1919 and passed away in Dallas, Texas in 1998. As a program announcer and translator for the Voice of America in New York City in the 1950s, V¿n and his family housed Ngô ¿ình Di¿m at their apartment for 9 months in 1952-1953 during his sojourn in the United States. V¿n later served as the Consul of the Republic of Vietnam's Mission in Hong Kong from 1956 to 1963. This book is the story of how he met Ngô ¿ình Di¿m and how that encounter shaped his life. "Ngô ¿ình Di¿m was indisputably among the most important figures in Vietnam's modern history . This memoir by a Vietnamese who lived for nearly nine months under the same roof with Di¿m at an important moment in his life will contribute to our knowledge about him." Tuong Vu, US-Vietnam Research Center, University of Oregon.…
