Reviews
Advance praise: 'This book is a landmark in scholarship, the product of Keith Taylor's four decades of intensive and prolonged engagement with Vietnam. There is no other book quite like it: it is the most authoritative work yet written on the full sweep of Vietnamese history. In these pages, stories from this past - whether of cannibals or kings, eunuchs or slaves, queen regents or revolutionaries - are woven into a rich historical account of the Vietnamese past. A magisterial achievement.' Shawn McHale, George Washington University, Advance praise: 'Elegant, erudite and stunningly comprehensive, A History of the Vietnamese is, by a wide margin, the finest general survey of Vietnamese history ever produced in any language.'

Synopsis
A groundbreaking study of Vietnamese history from the earliest times to the present day, based on primary source material and the very latest scholarship. K. W. Taylor combines a comprehensive narrative with a highly original analysis which endeavours to see Vietnam's past through the eyes of the Vietnamese people., The history of Vietnam prior to the nineteenth century is rarely examined in any detail.

A History of the Vietnamese is based on primary source materials, combining a comprehensive narrative with an analysis which endeavours to see the Vietnamese past through the eyes of those who lived it. Taylor questions long-standing stereotypes and clichés about Vietnam, drawing attention to sharp discontinuities in the Vietnamese past. Fluently written and accessible to all readers, this highly original contribution to the study of Southeast Asia is a landmark text for all students and scholars of Vietnam., The history of Vietnam prior to the nineteenth century is rarely examined in any detail.
