The stereotype of South Vietnam that appears in most writings, both academic and popular, focuses on the first two periods to portray a caricature of a corrupt, unstable dictatorship and ignores what was achieved during the last eight years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe essays in \u003ci\u003eVoices from the Second Republic of South Vietnam (1967–1975)\u003c\/i\u003e come from those who strove to build a constitutional structure of representative government during a war for survival with a totalitarian state. Those committed to realizing a noncommunist Vietnamese future placed their hopes in the Second Republic, fought for it, and worked for its success.
