Synopsis

The Vietnam War triggered a profound transformation in American political consciousness. It shattered confidence in American moral superiority and American military omnipotence. This book provides analyses that clarify the histoirical phenomena of the Vietnam era from various perspectives. The articles and excerpts in this collection were selected to give readers a sense of how it felt to live through the tumultuous Vietnam years. It is geared to stimulate discussion of the American disaster in Vietnam, so that readers can deal with the tragic consequences of US intervention. Dr Sevy contends that Americans concerned about protecting the national security must be more informed about the facts of American foreign policy and be more active in influencing the decisions of elected representatives. This book is useful as a basis for understanding the complex social, political and moral crises that traumatized the American body politic for more than a decade.
