Great overview of Vietnamese history and culture.
1 Jun 2006
Format:Hardcover
Written by a husband and wife team, with years of experience in Vietnam and its culture, this well developed text provides a detailed look at most of the major areas of Vietnamese culture and customs. Topic areas covered include Vietnamese history, cultural impacts of war and occupation, religion, literature, architecture, food and cuisine, family culture, festivals, and the arts. I would heartily recommend this book to families who have adopted from Vietnam - AdoptVietnam.org - or for anyone who is interested in a more complete understanding of Vietnam and its people.

Rif-off
23 July 2007
Format:Hardcover
The history was fine, but the illustrations were horrible. Since the little book was $55, I assumed the inflated price was because it contained some beautiful, colored pictures. They were so dark that I couldn't even see what the picture was about. I had intended to buy the whole series, but I couldn't even see how that book went through the publisher, the quality was so inferior.
