In agreeing to the accords, Ho Chi Minh and other leaders of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam anticipated a new period of peace leading to national reunification under their rule; they never imagined that within a decade they would be engaged in an even bigger feud with the United States. Basing his work on new and largely inaccessible Vietnamese materials as well as French, British, Canadian, and American documents, Pierre Asselin explores the communist path to war. Specifically, he examines the internal debates and other elements that shaped Hanoi's revolutionary strategy in the decade preceding U.S. military intervention, and resulting domestic and foreign programs. Without exonerating Washington for its role in the advent of hostilities in 1965, Hanoi's Road to the Vietnam War demonstrates that those who directed the effort against the United States and its allies in Saigon were at least equally responsible for creating the circumstances that culminated in arguably the most tragic conflict of the Cold War era. 410 0$aFrom Indochina to Vietnam ;$vv. 7. 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xCauses 607 $aVietnam (Democratic Republic)$xHistory 607 $aVietnam (Democratic Republic)$xForeign relations 610 $a1954. 610 $aallied forces. 610 $aasian history. 610 $aasian studies. 610 $acivic. 610 $acold war asia. 610 $acold war era. 610 $acold war. 610 $acommunism. 610 $ademocratic republic of vietnam. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $aengaging. 610 $afranco indochinese war. 610 $ageneva accords. 610 $ahanoi. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aho chi min. 610 $ainside look. 610 $ainternal debates. 610 $amilitary history. 610 $anational reunification. 610 $apage turner. 610 $apeace talks. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $asaigon. 610 $asoutheast asia. 610 $asoviet union. 610 $aunited states. 610 $aus military intervention. 610 $avietnam war. 610 $avietnam. 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xCauses. 676 $a959.704/31 700 $aAsselin$b Pierre$0696720 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786940303321 996 $aHanoi's road to the Vietnam War, 1954-1965$93713263 997 $aUNINA
