Vietnam's American War: A New History by Pierre Asselin Paperback Book

Description: Vietnam's American War by Pierre Asselin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book masterfully relates the background to the US military intervention to save noncommunist South Vietnam and, fundamentally, how North Vietnams leaders made that intervention futile. Richly detailed, it is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students, invaluable for scholars, and sure to delight general readers. Publisher Description The American war in Vietnam was so much more than the sum of its battles. To make sense of it, we must look beyond the conflict itself. We must understand its context and, above all, the formative experiences, worldview, and motivations of those who devised communist strategies and tactics. Vietnams American War, now in its second edition, remains a story of how and why Hanoi won. However, this revised and expanded edition offers more extensive and nuanced insights into Southern Vietnamese history, politics, and society. It puts to rest the myth of Vietnamese national unity by documenting the myriad, profound local fractures exacerbated by US intervention. It also includes over thirty-five new images intended to highlight that the Vietnam War was, fundamentally, a Vietnamese civil war and tragedy. This new edition is as richly detailed as it is original, eye-opening, and absorbing. Author Biography Pierre Asselin holds the Dwight E.
