Le second volet « L’Indochine dans la sphère de coprospérité Japonaise 1940-1945 », témoigne documents à l’appui d’une situation souvent déformée ou ignorée.

Le troisième volet « A l’ombre du soleil levant 1940-1945 » est fait de récits de situations vécues du sud du Pacifique à l’Indochine au cours de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale.

Poujade signe ici le troisième volet de sa trilogie.

Auteurs français_L'Indochine face au Japon (French Edition)

Original Title in French: L'Indochine face au Japon (French Edition)
by Author: Philippe Grandjean
Publisher: Editions L'Harmattan (2004)
ISBN-10: 2747568571
ISBN-13: 978-2747568579

About the Book:

Présentation de l'éditeur : on a beaucoup écrit sur la deuxième Guerre mondiale et sur la guerre d'Indochine (1946-1954). Mais très peu sur l'étonnante aventure de l'Indochine dans la deuxième Guerre mondiale (1940-1945). Isolée, soudain, d'une Métropole écrasée en juin 1940, l'Indochine française de l'amiral Decoux est restée, après 1942, le seul îlot " blanc " dans le raz-de-marée nippon d'après Pearl Harbor. Contrainte d'accepter un stationnement et un transit de troupes japonaises, elle a, au contraire de la France occupée, maintenu une souveraineté française entière et une armée libre de ses mouvements. Le tout au prix d'une allégeance appuyée au lointain Maréchal et d'une forte autorité, parfois marquée de bavures, mais toutes deux vitales, face aux Nippons, pour la survie de cette France du bout du monde. Inventive par, nécessité, elle a sauvé l'économie. Plus étonnant, elle a lancé un véritable " aggiornamento " du statut colonial, multiplié les écoles et les stades, réhabilité les patries et relancé leurs cultures. Cet " incroyable pari ", suivant le mot de L. Bodard, a tenu cinq ans.
Pourquoi, le 9 mars 1945, moins de cinq mois avant Hiroshima, Tokyo a-t-il été conduit à balayer l'imperium français ? L'auteur décrit le fatal enchaînement né du malentendu entre la France libérée et une Indochine qui allait bientôt lui revenir intacte, avec les conséquences tragiques qui en ont découlé. Le 9 mars 1945 a engendré la guerre d'Indochine.

About the Author:

Biographie de l'auteur: Condisciple du futur général Giap à l'Université de Hanoi, puis docteur en droit et élève de Sciences Po, l'auteur, évadé d'un camp allemand, a vécu l'Indochine de la 2e guerre mondiale, de 1941 à 1945, comme officier ou avocat. Il en est l'un des survivants et des meilleurs connaisseurs.

Book reviews (very useful):

Ce commentaire fait référence à cette édition : L'Indochine face au Japon : 1940-1945 Decoux-de Gaulle, un malentendu fatal (Broché)

"L'Indochine était la partie de l'Empire colonial français qui avait reçu le plus d'investissements de la part de la métropole. Lorsque les événements de la guerre mondiale aboutirent, de 1940 à 1945, à relâcher la tutelle de Paris et à faire de l'amiral Decoux le seul maître à bord, la "perle de l'Empire" connut l'amorce d'une évolution politique intelligente, qui aurait sans doute abouti à une indépendance négociée, et un développement économique sans précédent.
Et pourtant, quelques annnées plus tard, il ne restait rien, ni de la présence française, ni des institutions qui auraient permis une décolonisation sans drame (comme celle de l'Afrique noire), ni de l'avance économique que ces pays avaient prise sur leurs voisins, et des millions de morts allaient s'accumuler.
Ce livre décrit les origines de ce désastre, qui tiennent à la vision complètement fantasmatique que les gaullistes de métropole avaient de l'Indochine, imaginant des équations Indochine = France occupée, Vietminh = FTP, Decoux = Pétain, Japon = Allemagne. Des provocations et une arrogance qui n'étaient plus de saison, le mépris total à l'égard de l'amiral Decoux qui connaissait la situation sur le terrain, des espoirs naïfs dans l' "amitié" des Etats-Unis aboutirent, le 9 mars 1945, à transformer en un déferlement de violence une occupation japonaise qui s'était jusque-là montrée respectueuse de la situation préexistante . Ni la diplomatie de l'amiral Decoux, ni le courage des faibles garnisons françaises, ni l'amitié de certains Indochinois comme le prince lao Boun Oum, ne purent empêcher la disparition de toute autorité française, puis, au bout de quelques mois, la disparition de toute forme d'administration, laissant un pouvoir vacant dont Hô Chi Minh allait s'emparer pour faire basculer les trois Etats d'Indochine dans une expérience communiste... ayant abouti en fin de course à un ultracapitalisme sans frein. M. Grandjean montre comment il s'en est fallu de peu, de très peu, de 160 jours à peine, pour que le pari de l'amiral Decoux fût gagné et pour que l'on vît émerger de l'Indochine française trois Etats qui auraient bénéficié de bases matérielles solides et seraient sans doute restés des amis des pays francophones. Thèse dérangeante, mais difficilement contestable: si Paris n'avait pas tout voulu régenter à des milliers de kilomètres de distance,trente ans de guerre ininterrompue eussent pu être évités."

Rethinking Confucianism: Past and Present in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam [Paperback] Benjamin A. Elman (Editor), John B. Duncan (Editor), Herman Ooms (Editor)

Original Title in English

By Authors: Benjamin A. Elman (Editor), John B. Duncan (Editor), Herman Ooms (Editor)

Publisher: Univ of California Los Angeles (March 1, 2002)
ISBN-10: 1883191068 | ISBN-13: 978-1883191061 | Publication Date: March 1, 2002

Book Description

This ambitious volume brings together a group of distinguished scholars who have worked together over five years’ time in an attempt to explain the present pan-Asian revival of Confucianism a century after it was declared moribund by leading philosophers and thinkers in China and Japan as well as in the West.

This collaborative study of China and its historical sphere of influence in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam begins by clearly establishing the principal threads that made up Confucian thought in the period of its unchallenged eminence. It also examines the pitfalls of Western scholars who have tended to lump together as "Confucianism" many diverse currents of Chinese and other Asian classical thought.

Uniquely, the book explores as well traditional Confucian views of issues such as gender, medicine, and ritual, and examines the reasons given by leading Asian and Western scholars for rejecting Confucianism at the end of the nineteenth century.

"The volume is most valuable for the exceptional attention given to Korea, Japan, and Vietnam." -- John A. Tucker, East Carolina University
"This ambitious collection of essays challenges all previous discussions of Confucianism." -- Anne Walthall, Professor of History, University of California, Irvine

Histoire diplomatique de 1919 a nos jours

Original Title in French: Histoire diplomatique de 1919 a nos jours (Etudes politiques, economiques et sociales)
By Jean Baptiste Duroselle (Author)
Proposed English Title: History of Diplomacy from 1919 until today.
Publisher: Dalloz; 9th edition (1985)
ISBN-13: 978-2247006458
ISBN-10: 2247006450

Book review:
In France, this was a standard of diplomatic history: it documents what presidents, dictators, and foreign ministers did from 1919 to about 1979. It is an academic text that is designed for French students who must memorize these facts for exams at the various state schools for politics and international relations, i.e. the Instituts d'Etudes Politiques (Sciences Po) in various cities and L'ENA. To understand its purpose, one must understand what these exams entail: you stand in front of a professor and get grilled about any fact (from most trivial to most important) that is in this book. If you don't know something or fail to recall it quickly enough, the examiner can press further. So the student feels compelled to know it all. As such, this book was supremely useful as a single source to prepare for these exams, no matter how dull it was to read. I know because I went through this. From what I hear, Sciences Po have changed their curricula, so this kind of book may be less relevant today than it was 30 years ago.
Now, if you are looking for a history of international relations - a wider view that looks for causes, sociological trends, undercurrents, etc. - then you should look elsewhere. I would not recommend this for pleasure or analysis, but the facts are there if you need them, wholly without color, without characters, without fun, without style.

Báo Thế Giới và Việt Nam, cơ quan truyền thông của Bộ Ngoại giao, là tờ báo đối ngoại lớn nhất cả nước, phản ánh các vấn đề quốc tế sâu sắc và nóng bỏng và chính sách cũng như hoạt động đối ngoại của Việt Nam. Trong thời đại toàn cầu hóa và hội nhập kinh tế, ngoai giao kinh tế đóng vai trò rất quan trọng, báo Thế giới & Việt Nam thường xuyên dành dung lượng thông tin lớn giới thiệu về kinh tế đối ngoại, đầu tư du lịch, thị trường hàng hóa và dịch vụ, thị trường tài chính, công nghệ, lao động… và kinh nghiệm của các nước cũng như các doanh nghiệp nước ngoài trong quá trình phát triển và xây dựng thương hiệu. Đồng thời, Thế giới và Việt Nam còn phản ánh văn hoá, phong tục và lối sống đương đại của các dân tộc trên thế giới.
Với phong cách độc đáo, báo Thế Giới và Việt Nam có tính chuẩn xác, cấu trúc nội dung, thiết kế và trình bày theo tiêu chuẩn báo chí quốc tế, không những đáp ứng nhu cầu về thông tin báo in của độc giả thế hệ mới – thế hệ hội nhập và khẳng định vị trí Việt Nam trên toàn cầu – đồng thời còn là một cầu nối quan trọng giữa công đồng kinh doanh trong nước với cộng đồng kinh doanh nước ngoài.
