Red Earth: A Vietnamese Memoir Of Life On A Colonial Rubber Plantation (Ohio RIS Southeast Asia Series) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Phu Rieng was one of many French rubber plantations in colonial Vietnam; Tran Tu Binh was one of 17,606 laborers brought to work there in 1927, and his memoir is a straightforward, emotionally searing account of how one Vietnamese youth became involved in revolutionary politics. The connection between this early experience and later activities of the author becomes clear as we learn that Tran Tu Binh survived imprisonment on Con Son island to help engineer the general uprising in Hanoi in 1945.The Red Earth is the first of dozens of such works by veterans of the 1924–45 struggle in Vietnam to be published in English translation. It is important reading for all those interested in the many-faceted history of modern Vietnam and of communism in the non-Western world.

Fascinating memoir of a Vietnamese Communist organizer working on a French rubber plantation during the colonial period. The brutality of the rubber workers' existence is vividly - and accurately - described. It reads like an organizer's manual. One gets a better understanding of why the Vietnamese rebelled against French colonialism at the end of World War II
i buy this because it is Vietnamese history, but the truth is this book is so poor in writing, or in translation!
