In North Vietnam
Chomsky, Noam
http://chomsky.info/articles/19700813.htmPublisher: The New York Review of Books, New York, USA Year Published: 1970 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX8859 Chomsky traveled to North Vietnam in 1970 to explore the state of the country and give lectures at the Polytechnic University. While there, he discovered that although the nation had begun to lay the foundations for modernization and development, progress had been dramatically disrupted through the war with America. He reveals that the "air war of destruction" was in fact not as accurate in targeting military points as previously claimed. Yet Chomsky notes the enduring spirit of the Vietnamese who accept each struggle - whether with the Chinese, Mongols, Japanese, French, or Americans - as a succession of victories. Subject Headings |
