A monumental work of research and analysis, this is a history of
the Vietnam War in a single province of the Mekong Delta over the
period 1930-1975. More precisely, it is a study of the Vietnamese
dimension of the "Vietnam War, " focusing on the revolutionary
movement that became popularly known as the "Viet Cong." There are
several distinctive features to this study: (1) it provides an
explanation for the paradox of why the revolutionary movement was
so successful during the war, but unable to meet the challenges of
postwar developments; (2) it challenges the dominant theme of
contemporary political analysis which assumes that people are
"rational" actors responding to events with careful calculations of
self-interest; (3) it closely examines province-level documentation
that casts light on a number of important historical controversies
about the war. No other history of the Vietnam War has drawn on
such a depth of documentation, especially firsthand accounts that
allow the Vietnamese participants to spea directly to us.
