{"product_id":"vietnam-and-the-west-wynn-wilcox-9780877277521","title":"Vietnam and the West","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis sound interpretation of Vietnamese cultural attitudes contends that a major reason for American difficulties in Viet-Nam has been the failure to appreciate how wide the gulf is between Viet-Nam and the West. Professor Smith first describes Vietnamese political and social traditions and shows how they were challenged by the West after 1858. He examines Viet-Nam's search for independence and modernization in the first half of this century, contrasts the two governments of the partitioned country during the years 1954-1963, and stresses the critical need to reassess attitudes toward Viet-Nam. His sophisticated, ambitious survey of Viet-Nam history will have a lasting value that sets it apart from the scores of ephemeral books on this country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wynn Wilcox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0877277524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877277521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Southeast Asia Program Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Wynn Wilcox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063457149183,"sku":"9780877277521","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_791ad053-3f17-4e2f-9c33-17526395c1fa.jpg?v=1685389663","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vietnam-and-the-west-wynn-wilcox-9780877277521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
