Laying the chronological and critical foundations for the volume, David L. Anderson opens with an essay on the Vietnam War's major moments and enduring relevance. Mark Philip Bradley follows with a reexamination of Vietnamese revolutionary nationalism and the Vietminh-led war against French colonialism. Richard H. Immerman revisits Eisenhower's and Kennedy's efforts at nation building in South Vietnam, and Gary R. Hess reviews America's military commitment under Kennedy and Johnson. Lloyd C. Gardner investigates the motivations behind Johnson's escalation of force, and Robert J. McMahon focuses on the pivotal period before and after the Tet Offensive. Jeffrey P. Kimball then makes sense of Nixon's paradoxical decision to end U.S. intervention while pursuing a destructive air war.John Prados and Eric Bergerud devote essays to America's military strategy, while Helen E. Anderson and Robert K. Brigham explore the war's impact on Vietnamese women and urban culture. Melvin Small recounts the domestic tensions created by America's involvement in Vietnam, and Kenton Clymer traces the spread of the war to Laos and Cambodia. Concluding essays by Robert D. Schulzinger and George C. Herring account for the legacy of the war within Vietnamese and American contexts and diagnose the symptoms of the "Vietnam syndrome" evident in later debates about U.S. foreign policy. America's experience in Vietnam continues to figure prominently in discussions about strategy and defense, not to mention within discourse on the identity of the United States as a nation. Anderson's expert collection is therefore essential to understanding America's entanglement in the Vietnam War and the conflict's influence on the nation's future interests abroad. 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xInfluence 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xSocial aspects 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975. 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xInfluence. 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xPolitical aspects 676 $a959.704/3 686 $aNQ 8340$qBVB$2rvk 701 $aAnderson$b David L.$f1946-$01473853 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791565403321 996 $aThe Columbia history of the Vietnam War$93696016 997 $aUNINA
