Everyone knows Vietnam for its turbulent environment during the
second half of the 20th century, but few know that archaeologists
believe that civilization there existed as far back as the Bronze
Age. Vietnam's history runs rampant with clashing dynasties, civil
wars and power struggles between the North and South, and conflicts
with neighboring and other countries. First ruled under China's
close watch for centuries, Vietnam fell under conflicting commands
of France and Japan during the 19th and 20th centuries-finally
leading to the split of North and South Vietnam, and ultimately,
the Vietnam War. Today, Vietnam still struggles with its scars from
the past, but is slowly emerging as its own country, independent of
China and France. An essential addition for high school and public
library shelves, The History of Vietnam is the only reference book
to examine Vietnam's complete history, from the 2nd century BCE to
the present.
