Description

This comprehensive history of French Indochina spans over 96 years, from the establishment of Cochinchina in 1858 to the collapse at Dien Bien Ph in 1954. Pierre Brocheux and Daniel Hémery offer a nuanced exploration of the complexities of the French colonial period, considering both the perspectives of the colonizers and the colonized.

By combining original research with recent scholarship, the authors provide a rich and detailed account that sheds new light on the national histories of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the region, the Vietnam War, or French imperialism.

Translated captions by Nina Fink add to the book's value, making it a valuable addition to any library or collection.
