Problems addressed in this study include: the great ideological divide that separates historical perspectives on the conflicts of twentieth-century Vietnam; the powerful impact of the Cold War's global political polarization on the historiographical landscape; the powerful false dichotomy that has developed in the discourse, pitting the multi-dimensional and overlapping concepts of nationalism and communism against one another in diametric opposition. Its core problem is how these factors have obscured and confused the true origins, nature and make-up of the Mat Tran Dan Toc Giai Phong Mien Nam (National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam or "National Liberation Front"). This study is a survey of secondary sources published by a variety of historians and other authors on the Vietnam conflicts of the twentieth century. Its goals are: to develop a basic structure for understanding and comparing the major perspectives or schools of thought on the subject, especially in their views of the formation, make-up and behavior of the National Liberation Front (NLF); to consider the inherent personal and political biases of these authors by analyzing their use of language and demonstrating how it correlates to their perspectives on the subject; and to examine secondary research published in recent years that explores the implications of the nationalist/communist dichotomy and how it has shaped the discourse over the decades. This study concludes that: authors who share perspectives on the Vietnam conflicts of the twentieth century often share certain common phraseologies and other modes of language which reflect their personal views and ideological leanings and may be even used to predict the versions of historical truth they present on the subject; authors who use the most neutral language and succeed in detaching their own personal and political biases from their presentation of their research tend to support the orthodox or anti-Establishment perspectives of twentieth-century Vietnamese conflict, emphasizing continuity with historical traditions of resistance and internal anti-colonial revolution, rather than the revisionist or post-revisionist perspectives which emphasize the "Communist aggression" narrative; while the false dichotomy of nationalism vs. communism arising from the Cold War geopolitical paradigm has effectively polarized and distorted the realities of twentieth-century Vietnamese history, much recent scholarship has begun to deconstruct that dilemma and to forge a new, more inter-related understanding of both concepts.
