Stein Tønnesson was one of the first historians to delve into scores of secret French, British, and American political, military, and intelligence documents. In this fascinating account of an unfolding tragedy, he brings this research to bear to disentangle the complex web of events, actions, and mentalities that led to thirty years of war in Indochina. As the story unfolds, Tønnesson challenges some widespread misconceptions, arguing that French general Leclerc fell into a Chinese trap in March 1946, and Vietnamese general Giap into a French trap in December. Taking us from the antechambers of policymakers in Paris to the docksides of Haiphong and the streets of Hanoi, Vietnam 1946 provides the most vivid account to date of the series of events that would make Vietnam the most embattled area in the world during the Cold War period. 410 0$aFrom Indochina to Vietnam ;$vv. 3. 606 $aIndochinese War, 1946-1954 606 $aIndochinese War, 1946-1954$xCauses 607 $aVietnam$xHistory$y1945-1975 607 $aFrance$xRelations$zVietnam 607 $aVietnam$xRelations$zFrance 607 $aChina$xRelations$zVietnam 607 $aVietnam$xRelations$zChina 610 $a1946. 610 $aamerican military. 610 $abritish military. 610 $achina. 610 $achinese. 610 $acold war period. 610 $acomprehensive account. 610 $aengaging. 610 $afrench military. 610 $afrench. 610 $aglobal politics. 610 $aglobal tragedy. 610 $ahaiphong. 610 $ahanoi. 610 $aindochina. 610 $aintense. 610 $amodern history. 610 $anations at war. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apage turner. 610 $aparis. 610 $apolicymakers. 610 $apolitics. 610 $aprewar events. 610 $aresearch. 610 $arevolution and war. 610 $asecret intelligence documents. 610 $asoutheast asia. 610 $avietnam history. 610 $avietnam war. 610 $avietnam. 610 $awar drama. 610 $awar in indochina. 615 0$aIndochinese War, 1946-1954. 615 0$aIndochinese War, 1946-1954$xCauses. 676 $a959.704/11 700 $aTønnesson$b Stein$01126931 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823490303321 996 $aVietnam 1946$93925259 997 $aUNINA
