- Summary:
- In his penetrating analysis of the years following the Communist victory in Vietnam in 1975, Kolko asserts that although astonishingly effective as solders, the Communists have proved incapable of dealing with the enormous demands of reconstructing their war-torn nation. This book chronicles the devastating results behind the Communists' economic policies since 1986: a divided class society, corruption within the party ranks, a lack of education, and social services, and more.
