Shadow of the dragon : Vietnam's continuing struggle with China and its implications for U.S. foreign policy
"Shadow of the Dragon examines the long historical cycle of tribute, domination, and independence that has shaped Sino-Vietnamese bilateral relations. Dr. Henry Kenny outlines what role the United States can play in encouraging Vietnamese growth and prosperity, while protecting U.S. interests and easing the Chinese hegemonic tendency without humiliating Beijing. His analysis addresses potential tinderboxes in the Con Son Basin, the Paracel and Spratly Islands, and the Gulf of Tonkin. Dr. Kenny explores multiple options for U.S. policy-makers and recommends the most prudent and mutually beneficial plan of action."--Jacket
