A short history of the Vietnam War (ajánló)
Teachers and their students will be gratified to have available this concise, accurate, one-volume history of the Vietnam War written by a number of authorities. As the dean of American civilian strategists, Bernard Brodie, points out, American intervention in Vietnam is pregnant with lessons on the confusion of ends and means, goals and metheds, and rhetoric and reality. Yet none of these lessons can be understood by civilian and military decision makers, much less by students, if the war is dismissed merely as an aberration of American policy. These and related "lessons" are objectively examined in this volume. The book contains three parts: I, "The War That Wouldn't End"; II, "The American Military and Vietnam"; and III, "The War for Southeast Asia." A Short History of the Vietnam War probes these and other aspects of the conflict and describes in intelligent terms the ma]or causes of the war, its history, and its effects. A detailed chronology of the war and a selected bibliography are appended. Contributors are Major General Edward G. Lansdale, USAF, Ret., Laurence Stern, Murrey Marder, William Greider, George C. Wilson, Charles C. Moskos, Jr., Ward Just, Henry Allen, Thomas W. Lippman, Lydia Giles, Stanley Karnow, and H.D.S. Greenway.
