SELECTED AND ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

Information on Vietnamese politioal movaments is sparse, soattered, and in

large part of doubtful reliability. The illegal status of the nationalist movement.

forced them to secrecy in the period betore World war II. Since the end of the war,

Vietnam has been isolated from foreign contacts. Both the French and the Vietnamese

t have publicized only information that they considered helpful to their own interests.

And, except in France and China, the nationalist movement has attracted little out-

side attention. The amount of printed material available is thus at a minimum.

The major sources of information about the nationalist movement are Frenoh

police reports gathered and published in Indochina. In addition, a number of

French writers have dealt with various aspects of the political situation in Indochina.

The only other information extant is that provided in the postwar period by Vietnamese

sources, who have been oonoerned mainly with establishing the long-term oharaoter of

their resistance to the French. Material published by the Vietnam Government for

internal oonsumption undoubtedly throws light on the political tendencies operating at

present in the Vietnamese community, but such material, although known to be abundant,

is praotioally unavailable. Vietnamese souroes are, therefore, limit~d to broadoast

material and printed matter prepared for foreign oonsumption.

The sources listed below were of the greatest value for the history of the

nationalist movement up to the time of World War II -~ and were generally in substantial

agreement ooncerning facts. For the postwar period, souroes are cited in detail in the

footnotes.
