{"product_id":"vietnam-shelton-woods-9780781809108","title":"Vietnam: An Illustrated History","description":"Complemented by more than 50 illustrations, this volume offers a panoramic view of Vietnam and its people. Its recounting of the story of Vietnam begins more than two thousand years ago, and progresses onward to the twenty-first century. Examining the major political, military, and social developments that have shaped Vietnam, it represents the perfect introduction to this vital country. Tragic and heroic-these two words capture the essence of Vietnam's history. These terms are consciously placed in sequence because no matter what difficulties Vietnam faces, there is a triumph in its people that transcends immediate troubles. The Vietnamese, a people historically dominated at various points by imperialist nations including China, Japan, France, and the United States, have never lost their identity. That alone is a remarkable feat, and a testament to the rich and deep culture that pervades Vietnamese society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shelton Woods\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 078180910X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780781809108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hippocrene Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Shelton Woods","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926027075839,"sku":"9780781809108","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_78cc0531-2c03-4b3c-b971-70e069887813.jpg?v=1681080770","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vietnam-shelton-woods-9780781809108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
