This first historical dictionary in English of the Indochina War
(1945-54) provides the most comprehensive account to date of one of
the most important conflicts of the twentieth century. Using over
1,600 personally researched and crafted entries, Goscha provides
in-depth, expert coverage of the Indochina War in all its
dimensions. Rather than settling for a strictly politico-military
account of the war, Goscha adopts a path-breaking dual
international and interdisciplinary approach. Thus, readers will
not only find information on politics and military campaigns; they
will also discover the remarkable impact this war had on
intellectual, social, cultural, economic and artistic domains in
France, Indochina and elsewhere. Indeed, rather than limiting the
dictionary to the French and their Vietnamese adversaries, Goscha
explores the internationalization of this conflict from its
beginning in September 1945 at Ba Dinh square in Hanoi to its end
around the Cold War conference table in Geneva in July 1954, also
making it clear that a myriad of non-communist Vietnamese, Lao and
Cambodian nationalists were deeply involved in this war and its
outcome. In addition to its 1,600 entries, the dictionary contains
a succinct historical introduction, selected bibliography, maps,
illustrations, and tables. A massive work of outstanding scholarly
quality and lasting value, this is a reference tool that will be
invaluable for researchers, students and anyone else hoping to
understand the complexity of this tragic conflict.
