VIỆT NAM
   by Trương Bửu Lâm
This work retraces the history of Vietnam from its legendary origins to 2008. A new edition, hopefully with less typographical and other errors, has recently been issued by
Outskirts Press Inc, Denver, Colorado, ISBN: 978-1-4327-5020-6. XII+394 pages, 6 X 9, 45 Black and White Illustrations. Index.
The Editions Thanh Cao of Honolulu, Hawaii also publish a PDF file of the same text, except that the 45 illustrations are in colors. There also is a new E-Book Edition available at outlets that carry E-Books, such as Amazon Kindle, B&N Nook, Kobo, Sony, Apple, Smashwords, etc... To give you an idea about what this work is like, I shall put in the following pages short excerpts from each of the chapters. If you wanted to purchase either of the paperbacks, the PDF File or the EBook, go to the sidebar on the left of this page and click the Purchase word. It will bring you to the Purchase page which will give you all the information you need to place your order.
