An oversea Vietnamese reader living in the USA, May 31, 2001

This review is from: Les missionnaires et la politique coloniale francaise au Vietnam (1857-1914) (Lac Viet series) (French Edition)
Since this book came from its author's Doctoral Thesis accepted with Honor at the University of Paris, all its contents are based on French Foreign Ministry and French Navy Department official classified documents never released to the public before its publication as a book. At this moment, mid-2001,when freedom for religion,especially for the Christian Church,is a very hot topic indeed aimed at the Socialist Republic of VietNam from critics more or less "politicized" this book if read with a clear-minded,un-biased spirit might help the reader better understand this particular sensitive subject about religion freedom versus national sovereinty,and to some extent,to clarify another topic not less frequently discussed among oversea Vietnamese which is human right against social order and national security.
