Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Besides updating entries, this new edition adds material on developments since the publication of the second edition, in 1998, as well as on premodern history and culture, and also attempts "to take note of perspectives from recent revisionist scholarship on Vietnam's history." Another new feature is the use of Vietnamese diacritical marks. Mary Ellen Quinn
