A Gracious Enemy question

G'Day Everyone, My new book entitled "A Gracious Enemy" may become controversial because it lifts the lid on what happened during the Indochina Wars during which the people of Indochina (Cambodia, Laos & Vietnam). The book opens with events caused by the Vietnamese society re-adjusting after the Tay Son uprisings in 1770. Then goes on to French colonisation of the Indochina region and how the French imposed control by making the people of Vietnam learn the newly transcribed Vietnamese language into the Latin script. They even forbade the continued use of traditional Chinese writing characters in Vietnamese texts. This has resulted in the fact that the Vietnamese who were downtrodden and exploited by the French, used this more efficient form of writing as communications against their French and other foreign enemies. Covered in this book are some of the political intrigues which took place in Canberra, London, Paris and Washington. I was prompted to write this very factual book about the three Indochina Wars because I am an Australian Vietnam Veteran. During my service in Vietnam in 1968 - 1969, I noted that many Australian infantry soldiers were saying, "Why are we here? How can these people possibly be considered a threat to Australia or to any other place? they only want their own country back, and we should not be here!" In the end, the people of Vietnam won their struggle for independence and freedom against what must have seemed like impossible odds. To maintain reader interest, much of the text has been presented in the form of stories, which include conversations between the characters. Everything is factual, and there are quotations in both speech and written form. The First Indochina War ended with the French surrender at Dien Bien Phu. The Second Indochina War ended in 1975 in the withdrawal of the last American soldier from Vietnam. The Third Indochina War took place in 1978 when the Vietnamese Army swept into Cambodia and removed the Pol Pot Government from power.
