抄録

In this article, of the Vietnam War, we will look at a Vietnam War Research Book published in Vietnam in 2015 as commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the end of War and examine its characteristics. This research book is Nguyen Thi Viet Nga edited Vietnam’s Resistance War against America; A Historical Choice. The basic stance to the Vietnam War of this book inherited the orthodox talk about this war which was done in the official publications of Vietnam so far, no change is seen in this respect. However, in some respects this book has a “fresh” aspect. First of all, in this book we call the Saigon regime with its official name, that is the government of Vietnam Republic. Secondly, although this book evaluates that the Soviet Union and China continued to support the Democratic Republic of Vietnam as a socialist country, but for them, the power politics as a major power had greater significance than “the cause of socialism.” Third, in this book the difficulties faced by the revolutionary side have been mentioned much more concretely and clearly in such cases like period after the signing of the Geneva Convention in 1954, battle of Ia Drang in 1965 and the Tet offensive in 1968. Fourth, this book has greatly appreciated the role of Vo Nguyen Giap, and it is quite diferent from the Vietnamese research publication published in foreign countries recently that there is a strong tendency to emphasize the role of “hardliners” such as Le Duan.
