• Sommario/riassunto: Now in a thoroughly revised and updated edition, this classic history of the ""Vietnam Wa""' as seen by all participants takes into account the wealth of research and writing on the war since the book's original publication more than two decades ago. Leading scholar William S. Turley combines original research, thorough knowledge of the literature, his own insight from many trips to Vietnam during and since the war, and sound interpretation into a succinct and well-crafted analysis that provides balanced treatment of the Vietnamese, Lao, Khmer, and American dimensions of the war.
