Unusually, compared with other countries under Japanese occupation, Vietnam prospered in the early stages of the war, but from 1944 onwards, as the tide turned against the Japanese, the economy stalled and then had collapsed by 1945. The author examines the reasons for these fluctuation and how the collapse laid the ground for the beginning of the Viet Minh revolution. 304 pages.
