3.0 out of 5 stars
Describes how culture became destiny for Vietnam,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vietnamese Anticolonialism, 1885-1925 (Paperback)
Marr's work is scholarly and sometimes difficult to follow -- but he carefully describes the complex and inexorable forces which would lead to the defeat of the French and Americans as colonial powers in Indochina. Most interesting, he describes how the dynastic and cultural tensions within Vietnam itself between 1885-1925 made colonial domination both inevitable and intolerable. Marr's book is an uncompromising portrait of a culture under seige, and its painful evolution to a modern national identity.

Excellent work,
By alainviet "alainviet" (Indianapolis, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vietnamese Anticolonialism, 1885-1925 (Paperback)
Two people dominated Vietnam's political struggle during the period discussed by Marr (1885-1925): Phan Boi Chau and Phan Chu Trinh. While their goals were similar, their personalities and methods were quite opposite. Although they relentlessly worked to drive the French out of the country and failed, they ultimately paved the way of future successes by others.The author has been able to paint a fascinating and vivid portrait of their lives and aspirations as well as Vietnam's murky political arena of the time.
