While focusing on American involvement between 1965 and 1975, Lawrence offers an unprecedentedly complete picture of all sides of the war, notably by examining the motives that drove the Vietnamese communists and their foreign allies. Moreover, the book carefully considers both the long- and short-term origins of the war. --From publisher description. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

What I especially liked was the frequency with which Lawrence provided summary syntheses. There were several instances when, after several pages detailing various interests, tensions, and events, I would find myself trying to synthesize it all—and then, bam! Within a page there would be a paragraph that did exactly that.
What it is not, is a tactical or strategic military history of the war. Military operations are discussed only as they relate to the political context. War crimes are acknowledged but not really treated; the non-combat operations of both sides in South Vietnam aren't described in much detail and the main point of such description as there is, is that being a South Vietnamese peasant pretty much sucked regardless of which side had local control.
