5.0 out of 5 stars A Glorious Past, September 4, 2001
By 
This review is from: Hue, the Forbidden City: His Majesty Emperor Bao Dai (Hardcover)
Hue, the Forbidden City contains a treasure of rare photographs by M. Lafond showing the old imperial capitol as many have never seen it. Far from the crumbled and blasted buildings of the time of the Tet Offensive, this book shows Hue in its full glory as the Imperial capitol of Vietnam with all of its temples, tombs and the Imperial palace. His Majesty Bao Dai, the last Vietnamese Emperor, provides a special commentary on his former residence, the ceremonies and traditions of the forbidden city at Hue. There are beautiful landscapes, magnificant monuments as well as photos of the people of Hue, from the common people participating in the cities' ceremonies to the traditionalists who still worship their divine Son of Heaven. It is a fantastic book that anyone interested in the Far East and Vietnamese history will enjoy. People should read and look through this book to see the glorious evidence of Vietnam's imperial past.

5.0 out of 5 stars BREATH TAKING,..., March 21, 2006
This review is from: Hue, the Forbidden City: His Majesty Emperor Bao Dai (Hardcover)
This book is beautiful. It's a masterpiece of breath taking photos of not only the city and palace itself, but of the people that make up the culture and the beautiful natural landscape that surrounds it. The photos are almost ALL page size and are in full color. One of the many nice attributes about this book is that the pages are dedicated to honoring the photo displayed. Every ten to fifteen pages or so you'll find an explanation of what the pictures are, by page number, with more detailed information. Definitely worth the money, and not that expensive. Worth every cent.
