- Summary:
- This balanced and incisive introduction uses the wealth of recent research to place the Vietnam War within the contexts of European colonization, American Cold War strategy and Vietnam's own political history. It alms to give students a firm grasp of events, together with an appreciation of the historiographical debate. Emphasizing that Vietnam was far more than just an American war the author shows how the term "war", in the singular, is misleading and that one gets a fuller appreciation of the nature of the conflict by seeing Vietnam as a series of distinct but overlapping conflicts.
