Historical Dictionary of Vietnam (Asian Historical Dictionaries, No. 1)

William J. Duiker

3/5 ( ratings)

This useful and up-to-date reference work for students, businessmen, government officials, and others interested in Vietnam presents essential facts about Vietnamese history, politics and government, economics, and culture within a single volume. The second edition of the "Historical Dictionary of Vietnam" differs from its predecessor in a variety of ways. Substantially longer, many of the new entries are the result of suggestions from colleagues and other readers of the first edition, as well as a consequence of the changes taking place in the country itself in the last several years. Secondly, Duiker has altered the focus of the book to devote greater attention to issues related to economics and business concerns, as motivated by the growing interest in Vietnam on the part of the international business community. An updated bibliography is divided by topic for the reader's convenience, and diacritical marks for the Vietnamese language are added to names and terms in the "Dictionary". Contains 4 maps and an appendix. Reviews of the Previous Edition: "...valuable reference book...Duiker...is one of the nation's top Vietnam academic specialists..." — THE VVA VETERAN "...a useful, one-volume compendium...Recommended for academic and large public library reference collections." —PREVIEW "As far as bibliographies are concerned, each of the volumes is a valuable reference tool for the researcher...a promising beginning..." —AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF POLITICS AN HISTORY " It is a worthy addition for every reference collection, especially where the history of the Vietnam War is being taught." —ARBAAuthor Biography: William J. Duiker is Liberal Arts Professor of East Asian Studies at Pennsylvania State University. He is the author of several books on East Asia and Vietnam, and is member of the American Historical Association, the Association of Asian Studies, and the World History Association.
