Editorial Reviews

Review

...a comprehensive historical survey of the Vietnam conflict that is unlikely to be matched in its breadth and scope and presentation of different viewpoints.>>>> (Thompson, Kenneth W. )

A splendid book. Invaluable for every library that cares about the world.>>>> (Georgie Anne Geyer )

On the...distinction between politics and history, this volume...represents a useful and indeed most impressive shift towards the latter end of the scale.>>>> (Georgie Anne Geyer Asian Affairs )

...an important book for those who are interested in and wish to gain a better understanding of the Vietnam conflict...It presents new data, its writers are serious scholars of the war, and the editor has done a good...job of assembling comments and articles. Do not skip the appendices.>>> (Georgie Anne Geyer Perspective )

...a must for those who want a serious understanding of the Vietnam War and the lessons to be learned from that most recent and most misunderstood chapter in our nation's history. Braestrup's editing of two days of scholarly exchange by the experts onthe war is a classic and should be required reading for anyone interested in the war or American foreign policy.>>> (Jan C. Scruggs )
