La Marche À L’indépendance
Des Vietnamiens aux Français. La double colonisation
The Cambridge History of the Vietnam War
When, how, and why did the Vietnam War begin? Although its end is dated April 30, 1975, there is no agreement as to when it began. The Vietnam War was an enormously complex conflict and while any comprehensive reckoning must include the role of the US, it was not an 'American War'. This volume presents the scholarship that has flourished since the 1990s to situate the war and its origins within longer chronologies and larger interpretative perspe…
L’heure est-elle enfin venue: Les Français d’Indochine face à la chute de l’empire en 1945
Ce texte a pour ambition de comprendre comment les Français d’Indochine ont vécu les événements tumultueux d’août et septembre 1945 quand les Vietnamiens ont pris le pouvoir au Vietnam à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Comment les Français sur place ont-ils perçu l’indépendance du Vietnam ? Comment ont-ils compris la fin possible de l’empire ? Cet article accorde une importance particulière aux émotions, surtout à celle de l’humiliation, de…

The Road to Dien Bien Phu: A History of the First War for Vietnam
A multifaceted history of Ho Chi Minh’s climactic victory over French colonial might that foreshadowed America’s experience in Vietnam On May 7, 1954, when the bullets stopped and the air stilled in Dien Bien Phu, there was no doubt that Vietnam could fight a mighty colonial power and win. After nearly a decade of struggle, a nation forged in the crucible of war had achieved a victory undreamed of by any other national liberation movement. The Ro…
Global Wars and Decolonization in East and South-East Asia (1937–1954)
This chapter discusses how, between 1937 and 1954, two global conflicts combined to affect the course of East and South-East Asian decolonization profoundly—the Second World War and the Cold War. It covers how the Americans gained the upper hand in the region from 1945 by occupying Japan alone (unlike in Germany) and how the Chinese communist victory in 1949 and Mao’s alliance with Stalin a few months later readjusted the balance. It explains how…
Vietnam: A New History
Vietnam's role in one of the Cold War's longest-running conflicts has meant that its past has been endlessly abused. Popular accounts have cherry-picked from the Vietnamese past to tell politicized, American-centered stories--either reducing the story of Vietnam and the Vietnamese to a noble tradition of anticolonial resistance embodied by the communist leader Ho Chi Minh, or alternatively seeking to rehabilitate American allies by making similar…

Bringing Asia into Focus: Civilians and Combatants in the Line of Fire in China and Indochina
As readers of War & Society know well, the study of war has long shifted from strict military history to wider, interdisciplinary reflections on the impact of war upon states, societies, and cultur
A ‘Total War’ of Decolonization? Social Mobilization and State-Building in Communist Vietnam (1949–54)
By choosing to transition to modern, set-piece battle during the second half of the Indochina War, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV) created one of the most socially totalizing wars in order to meet that ambitious goal. This article argues that, while the DRV did indeed create a remarkably modern army of six divisions, the lack of a mechanized logistical system meant that it had to mobilize hundreds of thousands of civilian porters to supp…
Wiring Decolonization: Turning Technology against the Colonizer during the Indochina War, 1945-1954
Twentieth-century wars of decolonization were more than simple diplomatic and military affairs. This article examines how the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV) relied upon technology to drive state-making and to make war during the struggle against the French (1945-1954). Wireless radios, in particular, provided embattled nationalists a means by which they could communicate orders and information across wide expanses of contested space in real…
