Subject: Standard textbooks/texts used?

I am interested to find out the sense of the VSG on the most common texts used when teaching, at University level in the US, UK and elsewhere, about events in Vietnam in the rough period 1975-86, with reference to pre-1975.
Assistance much appreciated.

Subject: Re: ? Standard textbooks/texts used?

You know, I think a lot of people rely on Vietnamese novels, such as those by Bao Ninh or Le Luu. Another good source is to have students read all of Duong Mai Elliott's memoir. Here a few things I have used, drawn inspiration from, or sought references in. Best, David

Subject: New textbook on Vietnamese history

Dear all,

News from Vietnam say that there will be a new textbook on Vietnamese history, which promises to be more open and balanced. You can read the article here:

I also had an interview with one of the authors, Dr. Vu Minh Giang. The interview can be listened again by Real Audio Player:
