First line
"The Vietnam War was ""the quintessential conflict in the long history of warfare in our century,"" says Gabriel Kolko, who thinks it was ""virtually preordained"" that the USA would try to attain a vital military success to compensate for its failures in Korea"
From the rear cover
A Companion to the Vietnam War contains twenty-four definitive essays on America's longest and most divisive foreign conflict. These historiographical and narrative essays by leading historians examine the war in its most important contexts. The broad thematic coverage of the book includes the political strategy of three American presidents, the American military tactics and their consequences, the adjoining wars in Laos and Cambodia, the American home front and antiwar movement, and the intersections of race, class, and gender in both America and Vietnam.
This volume represents the best current scholarship on one of the most controversial and influential episodes in modern American history. It also contains an expanded bibliography of hundreds of secondary sources to guide further research. For students, scholars, and general readers of Vietnam War studies, this Companion is a vital resource.
