Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: An excellent place to begin Comment: If you would like to undertake the daunting task of studying the history of the little-understood country of Vietnam, this is the place to begin. Professor Woods book is brief, but not deficient. It is readable, concise, and entertaining--characteristics not often found in history texts. Furthermore, the illustrations and maps make the narrative come alive. While the book is too short to answer all of the student's questions, it will give general guidelines to launch a more comprehensive study of Vietnam and its related countries in Asia. Woods is a terrific scholar with the unique ability to cut through the scholarly jargon and verbosity to give the reader a clear overall picture of what Vietnam's history is all about. More Reviews
