Passion, Betrayal, and Revolution in Colonial Saigon - The Memoirs of Bao Luong (Hardcover, New)

This is the incredible story of Bao Luong, Vietnam's first female
political prisoner. In 1927, when she was just 18, Bao Luong left
her village home to join Ho Chi Minh's Revolutionary Youth League
and fight both for national independence and for women's equality.
A year later, she became embroiled in the Barbier Street murder, a
crime in which unruly passion was mixed with revolutionary ardor.
Weaving together Bao Luong's own memoir with excerpts from
newspaper articles, family gossip, and official documents, this
book by Bao Luong's niece takes us from rural life in the Mekong
Delta to the bustle of colonial Saigon. It provides a rare snapshot
of Vietnam in the first decades of the twentieth century and a
compelling account of one woman's struggle to make a place for
herself in a world fraught with intense political intrigue.
