"Enlightening and persuasive"-Jonathan Mirsky, New York Review of Books -- Jonathan Mirsky New York Review of Books "Hayton has a keen eye for the detail of everyday life as well as larger cultural, economic, social, and political currents. This book leaves one with the feeling of having been in the hands of an expert craftsman, and illuminates some of the major issues confronting contemporary Vietnam."-Carlyle A. Thayer, author of Vietnam People's Army -- Carl Thayer 'Examining nearly every aspect of Vietnamese politics and society, from the economy and family life, to religion and the plight of indigenous minorities, Hayton gives a balanced, intelligent account of a country whose history so differs from our own.' - Justin Wintle, Financial Times -- Justin Wintle Financial Times "This is a cleverly pitched book, one that will appeal equally to a businessman or investor seeking a briefing on Vietnam, an old Asia hand, or an inquisitive backpacker."-Petroc Trelawny, Irish Times -- Petroc Trelawny Irish Times
