{"product_id":"the-road-to-war-martin-shipway-9781571811493","title":"The Road to War: France and Vietnam 1944-1947","description":"\u003cp\u003e How did France become embroiled in Vietnam, in the first of long wars of decolonization? And why did the French colonial administration, in late 1946, having negotiated with Ho Chi Minh for a year, adopt a warlike stance towards Ho's r?gime which ran counter to the liberal colonial doctrine of liberated France? Based on French archival sources, almost all of them previously unavailable to the English-speaking reader, the author assesses the policy that emerged from the 1944 Brazzaville conference; and the doomed attempt to apply that policy in Indo-China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Shipway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571811494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571811493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.68d","brand":"Martin Shipway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46250513039615,"sku":"9781571811493","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4124bec1-3a76-403d-8472-6d81c52a2fb8.jpg?v=1729600537","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-road-to-war-martin-shipway-9781571811493","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
