this is an amazing book with a class perspective of the Vietnam War that is both clear and shocking. Here are some words from the New Press synopsis.... "The protagonists in Neale?s history of the ?American War? (as the Vietnamese refer to it) are common people struggling to shape the outcome of events unfolding on an international stage?American foot soldiers who increasingly oppose American military policy on the ground in Vietnam, local Vietnamese activists and guerrillas fighting to build a just society, and the American civilians who mobilized to bring the war to a halt. Neale provides a sober account of the evolving priorities of the Vietnamese and American elites, and of the many ways that their strategic objectives were shaped, reshaped, and driven off-course by upsurges from below. His narrative includes vivid, first-person commentary from the ordinary men and women whose collective actions resulted in the defeat of the world?s most powerful military machine." - Lodi , posted 08/02/05 |
