The Last Emperors of Vietnam: From Tu Duc to Bao Dai (Contributions in Asian Studies)

Summary: Where are the Emperors?
Review: The title of this book got my attention, since there has not been alot written on the Vietnamese Emperors, or anything other than the war with the US for that matter. However, this book only deals with "The Last Emperors of Vietnam" in the first chapter, devoting little more than a paragraph or two for some of the Nguyen monarchs. The rest deals with the Indochina War and the political fights leading up to the intervention of America. It costs alot for a very small book and has a very misleading title. There is some good information, but most of it does not have anything to do with Vietnam's last emperors.
