Vietnam

[Goatpie]

Hey guys i realized today i know barely anything about Vietnam, history or present.

So i was wondering if anyone could help me and if you'v got links on anything on the subject please post them.

I'm looking for information on:
1.How they became communist/socialist?
2.War with America,china and the loads more iv seen mentioned.
3.Most importantly whats it like now? Is it socialist still or has it fallen apart? Are the workers treated well and have their rights? Is there equality?
4.And anything else i should know about Vietnam?

Thanks again guys.

Here's a good read: http://ml-review.ca/aml/China/ALLIANCE27HOCHIMINH.htm

On the Vietnam War, there's a chapter in William Blum's Killing Hope on its origins. That book can be downloaded here: http://espressostalinist.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/killing-hope.pdf

Modern-day Vietnam is basically just a miniature version of China.

Vietnam is "China's China." Or so they say.
