AMERICA, THE VIETNAM WAR, AND THE WORLD
by (Editor) Andreas W. Daum et al

This book presents new perspectives on the Vietnam War, its global repercussions, and its place in modern history. It reveals ‘America’s War’ as an international event that reverberated all over the world - from Berkeley and Berlin to Cambodia and Canberra. The essays address political, military, and diplomatic issues no less than cultural and intellectual consequences of ‘Vietnam’. The authors cover over three centuries and thus ‘America’s War’ is depicted as a truly global event whose origins rest in history.
