APPENDICES --Appendix 1. Documents --Appendix 2. Statistics --IndexMore than a quarter of a century after the last Marine Corps Huey left the American embassy in Saigon, the lessons and legacies of the most divisive war in twentieth-century American history are as hotly debated as ever. Why did successive administrations choose little-known Vietnam as the "test case" of American commitment in the fight against communism? Why were the "best and brightest" apparently blind to the illegitimacy of the state of South Vietnam? Would Kennedy have pulled out had he lived? And what lessons regarding American foreign policy emerged from the war?The Columbia Guide to the Vietnam War helps readers understand this tragic and complex conflict. The book contains both interpretive information and a wealth of facts in easy-to-find form. Part I provides a lucid narrative overview of contested issues and interpretations in Vietnam scholarship. Part II is a mini-encyclopedia with descriptions and analysis of individuals, events, groups, and military operations. Arranged alphabetically, this section enables readers to look up isolated facts and specialized terms. Part III is a chronology of key events. Part IV is an annotated guide to resources, including films, documentaries, CD-ROMs, and reliable Web sites. Part V contains excerpts from historical documents and statistical data.Columbia guides to American history and cultures.Vietnam War, 1961-1975Electronic books.Vietnam War, 1961-1975.959.704/3Anderson David L.1946-1040658MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456028703321The Columbia guide to the Vietnam War2463696UNINA03694nam 2200637Ia 450 99620021350331620230725024909.01-4443-4089-11-282-77468-997866127746831-4443-2785-21-4443-2786-0(CKB)2670000000044451(EBL)589224(OCoLC)669961994(SSID)ssj0000422476(PQKBManifestationID)12174745(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000422476(PQKBWorkID)10431611(PQKB)10279033(MiAaPQ)EBC589224(EXLCZ)99267000000004445120100513d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrMaking housing more affordable[electronic resource] the role of intermediate tenures /edited by Sarah Monk, Christine M.E.

This book answers some of the questions around affordable housing and low cost home ownership, and whether these intermediate tenures have the potential to play a longer term role in achieving sustainable housing markets. The editors clarify the principles on which the development of affordable housing and intermediate tenures has been based; analyse the policy instruments used to implement these ideas; and make a prelReal Estate IssuesLow-income housingGreat BritainHousingGreat BritainLow-income housingHousing363.5/820941363.5820941Monk Sarah855332Whitehead Christine M.
