There is very little up-to-date information available on Vietnam and this has resulted in many popular misconceptions about the country. This book is an introduction to Vietnam which looks at the poverty and problems facing the country as a legacy of the Vietnam war and the long international isolation it has suffered as a result. The book examines the nature of Oxfam's longstanding involvement with the efforts of the Vietnamese people to overcome the many difficulties they face. The country is changing rapidly and this book considers the possibilities for the future development of Vietnam.
