This book provides an in-depth analysis of the political
instability of South Vietnam between the two Republics and offers a
valuable contribution to the study of the history of Vietnam as it
focuses on a decisive period in the history of South Vietnam. A
much-needed examination of the political environment of the
Republic of Vietnam between 1963-1967, this book shows how South
Vietnamese leadership failed to form a stable civilian government
and to secure South Vietnam against the increasing threat by North
Vietnam. Through a detailed assessment of political difficulties
during the period, the book suggests that, to prevent the imminent
loss of South Vietnam to the Communist forces, the United States
government did not have any other option than to escalate the war
by committing its combat ground forces in the South and beginning
the sustained bombing in the North. Moreover, the book analyses the
administration of General Khanh and Prime Minister Phan Huy Quat
and includes a full account of the War Cabinet of General Nguyen
Cao Ky. The achievements, the difficulties and the sudden death of
the National High Council as well as the confrontation between the
Buddhists and the Tran Van Hyong government are also explored. This
book will be of interest to researchers and students of the
contemporary history of Vietnam, the history of the Republic of
Vietnam, the Vietnam War and Southeast Asian history and politics.

The conflict in the South China Sea, especially the sovereignty
over Paracel and Spratly Islands, is of international interest and
significance. Territorial claims from various countries impact on
maritime freedom and result in the exploitation of natural
resources in either international waters or other claimant
countries' exclusive economic zones. This book analyses Vietnam's
claim of sovereignty over Paracel and Spratly Islands. Based on a
book originally published in Vietnamese, the author offers a
historical analysis to examine the sovereignty of the islands from
multiple perspectives. Written in English on the topic and based on
rigorous analysis of historical, legal and technical evidence, the
book makes the case for Vietnam's sovereignty over Paracel and
Spratly Islands. It also provides an investigation of how Vietnam
has affirmed its claim of sovereignty over the islands and a
discussion of how Vietnam's claim has been received by the
international community, particularly by China. The book touches on
a very sensitive, topical issue of international importance with
wide-ranging and serious consequences. It will be of interest to
academics in the fields of Asian security studies and Southeast
Asian history and politics.
