Quatrième de couverture

Where the Domino Fell recounts the history of American involvement in Vietnam from the end of World War II, clarifying the political aims, military strategy, and social and economic factors that contributed to the participants′ actions.

Narrated in an accessible style by two distinguished historians, this revised edition includes a final chapter examining Vietnam through the films of Oliver Stone. Compact yet substantial, and containing a bibliography, chronology, and glossary to further help students, Where the Domino Fell is an important contribution not only to the study of the Vietnam War but to an understanding of the larger workings of American foreign policy.
