This first historical dictionary in English of the Indochina War
provides the most comprehensive account to date of one of the most
important conflicts of the twentieth century. Over 1,600 entries
offer in-depth, expert coverage of the war in all its dimensions.
Christopher 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.
