Both the Vietnamese version, titled "Việt Nam Cộng H�a, 1963-1967: Những Năm X�o Trộn" and the English version, titled "Republic of Vietnam, 1963-1967: Years of Political Chaos" were published by Ho�i Việt Publishing House in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 2008. The second edition of the English version, under the new title "His-tory of South Vietnam: the Quest for Legitimacy and Stability, 1963-1967", was published by the British publisher Routledge in 2021. His book by Routledge is currently the only study on this very special period in the history of the Republic of Viet-nam (RVN).
