One thousand years of dynastic politics and monarchist ideology came to an end. Eight decades of French rule lay shattered. Five years of Japanese military occupation ceased. Allied leaders determined that Chinese troops in the north of Indochina and British troops in the South would receive the Japanese surrender. Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, with himself as president. Drawing on extensive archival research, interviews, and an examination of published memoirs and documents, David G. Marr has written a richly detailed and descriptive analysis of this crucial moment in Vietnamese history. He shows how Vietnam became a vortex of intense international and domestic competition for power, and how actions in Washington and Paris, as well as Saigon, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh's mountain headquarters, interacted and clashed, often with surprising results. Marr's book probes the ways in which war and revolution sustain each other, tracing a process that will interest political scientists and sociologists as well as historians and Southeast Asia specialists. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aHISTORY / Asia / General$2bisacsh 607 $aVietnam$xPolitics and government$y1858-1945 607 $aVietnam$xHistory$yAugust Revolution, 1945 607 $aVietnam (Democratic Republic)$xHistory 615 7$aHISTORY / Asia / General. 676 $a959.7/03 700 $aMarr$b David G.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$049082 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996595772603316 996 $aVietnam 1945$92382693 997 $aUNISA
