The History and Politics of South Vietnam
The Vietnam War (1946 to 1975) is one of the most misunderstood conflicts in modern history because the politics of this war have been analysed in insufficient detail. This is particularly the case with regard to the history and politics of South Vietnam (1954 to 1975). To help remedy this situation, Dr. David Bennett, in this podcast, examines the pre-history and history of South Vietnam to argue that leadership dynamics are a crucial determinant if a threatened nation is to ultimately survive.
