Vietnam: The Origins of Revolution is a 1966 book by John T. McAlster, Jr. which argues for an original theory on political revolution in Vietnam The book, a revised version of the author's doctoral dissertation, chronicles the history of Vietnam from the nascent French colonization in 1885 to the August Revolution in 1945. These events serve as a useful background to the revolution and help support the author's thesis that the political events in the middle of the 20th century in Vietnam were not limited to an anti-colonial revolt, but constituted a pervasive political revolution.
