Book Description
In 1790, not long after the Vietnamese ousted the Chinese imperialists for the last time, the Vits, launched their own campaign of conquest and colonization, their (in)famous Nam Tin. Having suppressed the kingdom of Champa, they encountered the indigenous barbarians (Man, Moi, as they called them) to their west in the mountains of the Trng-Sn. This is about that encounter, its origins in the dynamics of Vietnamese society, when it happened, the information available about it from various sources, and the patterns of relationship which emerged until about 1945. This material was prepared as background for research which was not possible because of the war. Much more has been written since by others. What is unique about this is that it considers these relationships in their proper context, which is the (in)famous "Nam Tin," or "Advance to the South," which was Vietnam's own campaign of suppression and colonization. That campaign has, now, been completed after 1975 with the seizure and settlement of the remaining "vacant'" lands of the Hill Tribes of the Central Plateau, and the suppression of the indigenous residents.

ISBN:
Category : Montagnards (Vietnamese people)
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
Scattered throughout the Central Highlands of South Vietnam is a group of people alternately called Montagnards, Highlanders and in some cases moi, the Vietnamese word meaning savage. Many American military advisors serving in the Highlands have worked with these people and the American public is vaguely aware of their existence through the televised war and a few vivid magazine articles highlighting their plight in the war. Most people hold the opinion that while the Montagnards are a kind, generous and hospitable people they are at the same time poor ignorant savages living in the jungle still practicing their stone age ways. They are in many ways primitive and unsophisticated. They are also a people struggling for the right to live their lives in peace and harmony.

Book Description
Initially stationed at the U.S. Army's counterintelligence headquarters in Saigon, David Noble was sent north to launch the army's first covert intelligence-gathering operation in Vietnam's Central Highlands. Living in the region of the Montagnards--Vietnam's indigenous tribal people, deemed critical to winning the war--Noble documented strategic hamlets and Green Beret training camps, where Special Forces teams taught the Montagnards to use rifles rather than crossbows and spears. In this book, he relates the formidable challenges he confronted in the course of his work. Weaving together memoir, excerpts from letters written home, and photographs, Noble's compelling narrative throws light on a little-known corner of the Vietnam War in its early years--before the Tonkin Gulf Resolution and the deployment of combat units--and traces his transformation from a novice intelligence agent and believer in the war to a political dissenter and active protester.
