Excellent work

Two people dominated Vietnam's political struggle during the period discussed by Marr (1885-1925): Phan Boi Chau and Phan Chu Trinh. While their goals were similar, their personalities and methods were quite opposite. Although they relentlessly worked to drive the French out of the country and failed, they ultimately paved the way of future successes by others.The author has been able to paint a fascinating and vivid portrait of their lives and aspirations as well as Vietnam's murky political arena of the time.
