Vietnam Today: A Guide to a Nation at a Crossroads
This book examines a nation and its heritage, its present, and its future, with the dispassionate look that renders objectivity to the analysis, yet manages to preserve the humanity at the core of such analysis --MultiCultural Review, September 2005This succinct guidebook is must reading for businesspeople interested in the Vietnamese market; it is also recommended for academics and tourists interested in Vietnam. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections. --- J. W. Leonard, Miami University, ALA. --CHOICE Review, June 2005Who should read this book? Certainly those doing business with or in Vietnam...  students of international business and opportunity seekers. I would also recommend it for the slightly adventuresome tourist, for veterans of the war generation who would go back out of curiosity or contrition. --Dr. George F. Simons atdiversophy.com, 2005The focus throughout the book is the Vietnamese people, their culture, and their reaction to Western ideals. The book does an excellent job of maintaining a critical yet constructive view of both Western and Vietnamese cultures as they meet and interact. --Nilar A.Chit Tun, Intercultural Management Quarterly, American University, 2005A practical and relevant guide that provides a deeper understanding of Vietnam's rich heritage and recent changes. In-depth and comprehensive. --Asian Pages, January 15-31, 2005Vietnam is opening to the Western world.
