Tai's book sets out to challenge the assumption so prevalent in
earlier works which compressed the history of the Vietnamese
Revolution into the history of communism. In her quest she marshals
an impressive range of material--much of it unknown in the West. --
Al Richardson "Analysis"
Tai's work is a mixture of riveting evidence and succinctly drawn
inferences about the very complex radical milieu in Vietnam during
the 1920s and 1930s. The sources are diverse, ranging from archival
evidence to personal histories...Tai not only draws the outline,
but she fills in the picture with vivid detail and insightful
portraiture. -- Marilyn Levine "American Historical Review"
