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.
