Do you feel that your history books in school didn't give you enough information on Vietnam? There is probably a reason why they skipped over that, or brushed over these subjects, but I believe every American should understand more about this country.
Did you know that Vietnam is one of the fastest growing emerging markets currently in the world, and it appears that capitalism has very much taken hold. The days of a war-torn Vietnam are gone, and it is rebuilding itself in an incredible way, it is amazing how much international and foreign funding is coming into the market place as the country expands.
Perhaps, you would like to learn more about the ascension to power in Vietnam, and learn how it got to be where it is today, and how it got to be the fastest growing emerging market of the world. I would highly recommend that you buy a certain book, and read it to get a better understanding. Because many people think they know the history of Vietnam of the last 50 years, but there is a lot more to this story. The name of the book that I wish to recommend is;
"Dragon Ascending - Vietnam and the Vietnamese," by Henry Kamm, (Pulitzer Prize-winning senior foreign correspondent for the New York Times); arcade publishing, New York, New York, 1996, (304 pp).
This author has done a superb job in helping the reader understand the war. Also, how life was before the war, and how things have changed since then. The book starts out with a chronological history taking us back to 2000 BC with the founding of the kingdom, and the Vietnam legend before that. The reader will also understand the time of 100 BC and the Han Dynasty and how China had incorporated Vietnam into a province. It also talks about the history of the Catholic Church in Vietnam, and how the French colonized it.
Later the book explains the Japanese occupation of Vietnam, and also how it was later divided by the communists. It goes through all the war years, the Tet Offensive, and even the withdrawal of the United States. Lastly, it goes through how 20 years later after the war had ended that the United States reunited its diplomatic ties with the country. And ever since then things have been pretty good, but right now they are great. I believe everyone should read this book, especially if you are an investor in emerging markets.
