A propos de cet article

20 pages. : ill.; 28 cm. Footnotes. David Marr received his Ph.D. in Vietnamese Studies from the University of California, Berkeley in 1968. He is the author of Vietnamese Anticolonialism: among other works. He has an article on What Normalization Can Mean in this issue. The Indochina Resource Center was founded in 1971 to inform the American people, legislators, and the media about the war in Indochina. The IRC also disseminated information about the countries of Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam where U.S. military personnel were fighting or bombing. The IRC changed its name to the Southeast Asia Resource Center in 1976. In 1982 the organization was absorbed by Asia Research Center. From Wikipedia: "Gareth Porter (born June 18, 1942) is an American historian, investigative journalist, author and policy analyst specializing in U.S. national security policy. He was active as a Vietnam specialist and anti-war activist during the Vietnam War, serving as Saigon Bureau Chief for Dispatch News Service International from 1970-1971, and later, as co-director of the Indochina Resource Center. He has written several books about the potential for peaceful conflict resolution in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, the most recent of which is Perils of Dominance: Imbalance of Power and the Road to War in Vietnam, an analysis of how and why the United States went to war in Vietnam. He has been criticized for his writings about the Khmer Rouge government in Cambodia. Porter has also written for Al Jazeera English, The Nation, Inter Press Service, The Huffington Post, and Truthout, and he was the 2012 winner of the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism, which is awarded annually by the Frontline Club in London to acknowledge reporting that exposes propaganda. Porter graduated from the University of Illinois. [5] He received his master's degree in International Politics from the University of Chicago and his Ph.D. in Southeast Asian Studies from Cornell University. He has taught international studies at the City College of New York and American University, and he was the first Academic Director for Peace and Conflict Resolution in the Washington Semester program at American University. Porter was active as a Vietnam specialist and anti-war activist during the Vietnam War. From 1970-1971, he served as the Saigon Bureau Chief for Dispatch News Service International, [8] and later, he was the co-director of the Indochina Resource Center, an anti-war research and education organization based in Washington, D.C. Gareth Porter wrote a series of articles and academic papers challenging President Richard Nixon's statement that there would be a communist "bloodbath" in South Vietnam if the U.S. withdrew its forces. In his 1973 monograph The Myth of the Bloodbath: North Vietnam s Land Reform Reconsidered, he challenges the assertion by Hoang Van Chi, Bernard Fall, and others that North Vietnam's land reform program caused the mass execution of hundreds of thousands of people. His analysis stating that the real number of casualties was much lower is supported by the scholarship of Edwin Moise, but has been challenged by several writers, including Daniel Teoduru, Robert Turner, and Hoang Van Chi. In 1974, Porter wrote a detailed criticism of U.S. Information Agency official Douglas Pike's account of the "Massacre at Hue during the Tet Offensive." A 1970 report by Stephen T. Hosmer utilizing Viet Cong documents suggested that at least 2, 800 persons were killed. Porter claimed that Pike manipulated official figures to make it appear that over 4, 700 civilians were murdered by the Viet Cong, and the numbers and causes of death were actually much different." Good. No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling.…
