"The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt effectively engages its readers in the intertwined stories of French colonialism, the New Imperialism, and a Vietnam in transition during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in a thought-provoking and memorable blend of critical textual discussion and high-quality illustration."--David W. Del Testa, Bucknell University "This is a beautifully written and illustrated history based on solid research. The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt does a phenomenal job of contextualizing the far reaches of the French empire in world history. Students will enjoy the graphics and the intellectual stimulation of the story. I strongly recommend it for classes in world history, historical methodology, and Southeast Asian history."--Christina Firpo, California Polytechnic State University "The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt very usefully integrates a discussion of the civilizing mission with the history of colonial urbanism, public health, and scientific experimentation. There's very little accessible material on this in English for undergraduate students, and the text does an excellent job of translating complex historiography in a readable way."--Rebecca Scales, Rochester Institute of Technology "Students will be delighted by The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt. The superb graphics and the story itself will enthrall general readers as well."--J. R. McNeill, Georgetown University "The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt is a captivating story! If offers an 'all in one' package that makes it a practical text for world history courses."--Margaret B. Bodemer, California Polytechnic State University, "Vann and Clarke have provided a helpful addition to the large selection of textbooks on Vietnam. Clear writing, helpful footnotes, and historical context help Vann and Clarke deliver a readable history of a complex topic. The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt offers a model of how to translate a history that is equal parts global, transnational, and local history into a new medium." -- Zachary M.
