Summary:

Fifty years since the signing of the Paris Peace Accords signaled the final withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam, the war's mark on the Pacific world remains. The essays gathered here offer an essential, postcolonial interpretation of a struggle rooted not only in Indochinese history but also in the wider Asia Pacific region.
