8 Incredible books to read before you visit Vietnam (Part 3)

4. The Penguin History of Modern Vietnam by Christopher Goscha

Having been both colonisers and victims of colonisation over the centuries, Vietnam has survived and retained so much culture, while evolving with the Western influences that have shaped it into the much loved tourist destination of today.

This book will help you understand the many layers of history from an insider’s perspective. It includes some pictures and, despite its heavy appearance, the content is explained clearly. Its in-depth accounts don’t read like a typical history book.

5. Lonely Planet Vietnamese Phrasebook & Dictionary

User-friendly features include survival phrases and sentence starters. Covering basics, travel, social situations, and food, this guide is perfect for travellers and language learners eager to connect and explore Vietnam with ease.
