Hanoi's War is first-rate. The scope is ambitious. . . . The value

to the international history of the war." --Journal of Military

Review
Nguyen should be congratulated for tilting decisively away from
America's war in Vietnam. . . . She gives Vietnamese-language
sources the attention they deserve." --Critical Asian Studies
Stunning. . . . [Nguyen] presents a compelling view from 'the other
side of the hill.'" --Sea Classics
Whatever you think you know about the war in Vietnam will be
challenged, revised, and deepened by this remarkable book. . . .
Hanoi's War is a must-read. . . .The book deserves more attention
than it has thus far received. It enriches our understanding of the
War in Vietnam and by implication, subsequent American commitments,
including the war in Afghanistan." --Artfuse
Without question, Hanoi's War stands as a major accomplishment and
one of the most important scholarly works to appear on this later,
and relatively understudied, phase of the struggle." --Foreign
