Where can I get new GMAT prep (books/CD/DVD) in Vietnam?
Answer
This is one of the oddest questions I've seen in the hundreds of questions I've answered in this category. Oddly enough, I might have a good answer for you.
You're going to have it pretty tough to find GMAT prep books and courses in Vietnam considering the GMAT is a U.S. standardized test. Hopefully you are in Ha Noi, which is your best and probably your only hope in all of Vietnam to find non-electronic books and other materials related specifically to your subject matter.
The place you want to be in Ha Noi is on Trang Tien Street, which is the street that borders the South side of Hoan Kiem Lake. More specifically, you want to be between the Lake and the French Opera House. You will know you're at the right place, because you will be surrounded by bookstores. With some luck, you will find the books, etc. that you seek there.
If you're not in Ha Noi (or you don't want to dig through dozens of bookstores), I suggest you start looking for e-books to download. You will probably find dozens or even hundreds of GMAT prep books by Googling it. You will probably save hundreds of dollars and dozens of hours searching through Ha Noi bookstores by just downloading e-books instead of buying hard copies (perhaps this should be a question on the GMAT).
Good luck to you and your journey towards getting your MBA!

Looking for old book about Vietnam?
Q. Guys, help me please, if you can.
Iâm looking for the book (donât remember either title or author). Itâs about Vietnam, about NAVY artillery spotter who works on the ground, with Army and Marine grunts. One of the grunts is named Moses, he is a black giant of a man, that carries (if I remember correctly) M2 machine gun. At the end of the book he is burned to death. If you also read this book, can you tell me its title and author? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this it--haven't read it myself but there are not too many Navy/Vietnam novels...could it be No Place to Hide
by Gerry Carroll, or one of the others in that triology? The last one came out in 1995. Next time mention what year you think you read it...the dates can help since I don't know if you consider 1995 a old book or not. : )
Here's a description of that book:
The evacuation of Saigon during the last days of the Vietnam War is brought to vivid life in this concluding volume of Carroll's naval aviation trilogy (North SAR; Ghostrider One). Helicopter pilot Lt. Tim Boyle and his best friend, Lt. Mike Santy, find themselves in the midst of the chaos, danger and heartbreak of the efforts to keep the enemy at bay just long enough to prevent the American withdrawal from becoming a complete catastrophe. The pair's adventures here coil around two major plot lines and one minor one that occur during April 1975: an effort to reach and evacuate a Navy officer who has been leading a troop of irregulars in the mountains; the planning and implementation of the Saigon evacuation; the tensions felt by Navy wives who know all too well the probabilities of life and death. In Carroll's gifted hands, we fly in Hueys over Saigon rooftops; crawl through the jungles with the enemy in spitting distance; and feel the fatigue and frustration of professionals who know their leaders are self-serving and incompetent. Throughout, Carroll inserts technical and military details painlessly and with graceful accuracy, making this a war novel that's as authentic as it is memorable.
Good luck tracking it down.
