Abstract
ABSTRACT Much of the Cold War was waged in what was then often referred to as the “Third World.” The first work reviewed here looks at the victory of the Vietnamese communists in the first Indochina War. Ho Chi Minh’s Democratic Republic of Vietnam did not win against France just because of nationalism. It won due to Sino-Soviet aid and its adoption of communist methods of mobilization. The second book examined looks at the persistent endeavor to build socialism in the Third World over a period of decades and using a variety of tactical approaches. Despite the end of the Cold War, these efforts have left behind a number of Leninist style party states on several different continents.
