Welcome to my website

Welcome to Paul's History Club website. (For many years, Paul's Vung Tau History Club website.) 

This site has two purposes;
ONE: This is where I (Paul Rowe) dump stuff about Viet Nam which I find interesting.  Most of it is my own work, but sometimes I come across other stuff that is too good to let go.
TWO: To encourage people from within Vietnam, and across the world, to get interested in the diverse and fascinating history, culture and people of Vietnam.
​*
For many years I lived in Vung Tau, a tropical island at the mouth of the Saigon River. This former French colonial resort town therefore features in many of my early stories.
​I now live in Ho Chi Minh City and the more recent stories will reflect this.
​
If you need to contact me about any articles or if you wish to submit something contact me via the comment boxes spread across this site or email me at 2paulrowe@gmail.com.
A cool place to start exploring this website is with the History Mysteries.
Just go to the menu at the left of the web page,
pick a History Mystery, and see if you can help me solve it!
There is also a heap of good stuff on this website's blog.

Below I am blatantly advertising my latest book about Vietnam.
