Summary:

"Li Tana presents a powerful new reading of Vietnamese history: that key political changes resulted from the impact, economic and otherwise, of the sea. This finely layered account covering the two millennia before colonisation radically restructures how we understand the shaping of the country we now know as Vietnam"-- Provided by publisher
