A former university lecturer in the late Republic II of Vietnam is reviewing the history of his miserable country for an appropriate understanding on the so-called Vietnamese Tragedy, 1802 to date, not merely from the miserable year 1975 as being usually thought of. This is a historical criticism, no sort of history whatever, comprising seven essays: 1_ The Hundred-Viet people: 4890-year history? 2_ The Great-Viet kingdom's 275-year, 1527-1802, agony 3_ Bishop Pigneau de Behaine's King Gia-Long, 1802-1820. 4_ The Sino-French Vietnam 5_ The International III into Vietnam 6_ Vietnam, the French War 7_ Vietnam, the American War There have been great titles such as 'Vietnam the Australian War'. No 'Vietnamese War' whatever.
