Christopher Goscha resituates the Vietnamese revolution and war
against the French into its Asian context. Breaking with
nationalist and colonial historiographies which have largely locked
Vietnam into 'Indochinese' or 'Nation-state' straightjackets,
Goscha takes Thailand as his point of departure for exploring how
the Vietnamese revolution was intimately linked to Asia between the
birth of the 'Save the King Movement' in 1885 and the Battle of
Dien Bien Phu in 1954. But his study is more than just a political
history. Goscha brings geography to bear on his subject with a
passion. While he considers the little-known political movements of
such well-known faces as Phan Boi Chau and Ho Chi Minh across
Southeast Asia, the author takes us into the complex Asian networks
stretching from northeastern Thailand and the port of Bangkok to
southern China and Hong Kong - and beyond. There, we see how Ho and
Chau drew upon an invisible army of Vietnamese and Chinese traders,
criminals, prostitutes, sailors and above all the thousands of
emigres living in Vietnamese communities in Thailand.
