In this three-part series, diaCRITICS provides three different views on the significance of The Winning Side, by the author himself, by Nguyễn Vạn Phú, managing editor of the Saigon Times, and Long Le, Director of International Initiatives for Global Studies at the University of Houston. A second volume, Quyền Bính (The Power ) awaits publication. Only the first of two volumes (Giải Phóng , or The Liberation ) has been published. The book recounts postwar life in Viet Nam, including many politically sensitive aspects, such as the discriminatory persecution of ethnic Chinese, the impact of re-education camps, the challenges of daily life for ordinary people, and the wars with China and the Khmer Rouge. Huy Đức is a longtime Vietnamese journalist and army veteran whose groundbreaking book, Bên Thắng Cuộc (The Winning Side), has made quite a splash.
