@jay_veith Fancy a trip to the UK to watch it in June ? 😆🤣

@benjaminavtran I haven’t seen it but I know the producer and she is very dedicated to her art

I’ve heard good things about this documentary. Can’t wait for it to be shown in London!

@jay_veith @CNMNguyen Yes please Jay! Thank you!

@CNMNguyen @benjaminavtran There are many released cables between the Saigon embassy and State over the GVN request to deport 7 students. They are online at the NARA AAD 73-75 files. I can email you both some if you want?

Regarding @Columbia, today I think about Prof Ngo Vinh Long (1944-2022, at the front) and Nguyen Thai Binh (1948-1972, third from the left). They were South Vietnamese anti-war activists. Binh had his visa revoked in early 1972. Photo at Southern Illinois University, 4/1972.

@CNMNguyen @Columbia Sometimes you can’t help and wonder where some of these people or their families are now today …

@benjaminavtran @Columbia Not everyone. Long and Binh were the most prominent.

Really great talk by Shawn McHale about the First Indochina War in the South ! Thank you to @YinQingfei for hosting a brilliant event!

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@Farradeh5 You just wish you were one of them 😜

@mcparker_ Is this your way of saying 'Ask me for help without saying ask me for help' Hahaha. Jokes aside. That is solid advice and recommendations. Thank you!

@benjaminavtran If this is a PhD app then existing PhD students are your best bet. If it's UKRI studentships then your proposed supervisor might know someone who has previously successfully applied to that specific UKRI branch. (if something else entirely then disregard this!)

@BillockCody Really nice dude! Congrats!

I’m excited to announce the launch of my new website! You can explore my research, fellowships, publications, & more. I will also start blogging about the Vietnam & Cold Wars on the website soon, probably in Vietnamese & English. Check it out here: codyjbillock.com

I don’t really delve into Vietnamese English diasporic literature. Let alone Vietnamese English literature. Mainly because I’m a historian. However, today was an exception. Got to meet Thuận. Elevator in Sài Gòn is an amazing book and a great read. Definitely would recommend.

@Farradeh5 Ahah! Told my dad that he’s going to be eligible for concession tickets at events soon. He told me to get loss.

@Farradeh5 Lol that was meant to say schonbrunn

@Farradeh5 Schknbrunn Palace but give yourself time for the gardens. It’s so pretty. St Stephen’s Cathedral is nice. The Hundertwasser Houses. Mozart Museum. Kunsthistorsches Museum. Hofburg. There’s so much there. Can you tell I love Vienna

@Farradeh5 @charliehall300 @catbateson Many congratulations!

@AFerguson1988 @BillockCody do you know anyone?

Hi #twitterstorians #shafr. Does anyone know if there's been much written on Ngo Dinh Diem's international diplomacy, beyond his relationship with the US? I've read Ed Miller's chapter 'The Diplomacy of Personalism' but is there anything else I should check out?

@Farradeh5 CONGRATSSSSSS

🔔Late-breaking but exciting news for UK-based historians of the Americas🔔 Alongside @TanyaHarmer @Jake_S_Richards @ImaobongUmoren3 @richardsaich and Anna Cant, I'm really pleased to invite applications for a networking event & dinner at @lsehistory on July 30!

1/ Pierre Asselin is one of the very best scholars writing in English or French on decision-making in the (communist) Democratic Republic of Vietnam during the Second Indochina War (1960-75).

@Lin10115 I have used them in my work many times. Pretty good books to use for the South Vietnamese perspective. A great insight

Does anyone have any idea about these two books by South Vietnamese historical witnesses?
