Book on Vietnam's history made public

A book on Vietnam’s history, rich with valuable information, “Lich Su Viet Nam, Tu Nguon Goc Den Giua The Ky XX” (A history of Vietnam, from origin to the middle of the 20th century) has been made public.

The book was written by Vietnamese Professor, Le Thanh Khoi, and released by The Gioi Publishing House.

The new book actually combines two, on Vietnamese history and culture titled “Viet Nam, Lich Su va Van Minh” (Vietnam, History and Civilisation) and “Lich Su Viet Nam, Tu Nguon Goc Den Nam 1958” (Vietnamese History, From Origin to 1958).

The publishing houses of Minuit Paris and Sue-Est Asie released the two books in French in 1955 and 1982 allowing these scholarly works to serve as comprehensive sources of historical data for Vietnamese researchers.

Born in 1923 in Hanoi, Khoi studied in France in 1947. He has written and co-authored more than 40 books and was awarded the French Order of Arts and Letters in 2003.
