Publisher's description: "This book presents new perspectives on the Vietnam War, its global repercussions, and the role of this war in modern history. The volume reveals 'America's War' as an international event that reverberated all over the world: in domestic settings of numerous nation-states, combatants and non-combatants alike, as well as in transnational relations and alliance systems. The volume thereby covers a wide geographical range-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 also set the Vietnam War in comparison to other major conflicts in world history; they cover over three centuries, and develop general insights into the tragedies and trajectories of military conflicts as phenomena of modern societies in general. For the first time, 'America's War' is thus depicted as a truly global event whose origins and characteristics deserve an interdisciplinary treatment."

This controversial and timely book about the American experience in Vietnam provides the first full exploration of the perspectives of the North Vietnamese leadership before, during, and after the war. Herbert Y. Schandler offers unique insights into the mindsets of the North Vietnamese and their response to diplomatic and military actions of the Americans, laying out the full scale of the disastrous U.S. political and military misunderstandings of Vietnamese history and motivations. Including frank quotes from Vietnamese leaders, the book offers important new knowledge that allows us to learn invaluable lessons from the perspective of a victorious enemy. Unlike most military officers who served in Vietnam, Schandler is convinced the war was unwinnable, no matter how long America stayed the course or how many resources were devoted to it. He is remarkably qualified to make these judgments as an infantry commander during the Vietnam War, a Pentagon policymaker, and a scholar who taught at West Point and National Defense University. His extensive personal interviews with North Vietnamese are drawn from his many trips to Hanoi after the war. Schandler provides not only a definitive analysis of the American failure in Vietnam but a crucial foundation for exploring the potential for success in the current guerrilla wars the United States is fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Although the events themselves recede further into history every year, the political and cultural changes the war brought about continue to resonate, even as a new generation of Americans grapples with its own divisive conflict.

With chapters written by subject area specialists, America and the Vietnam War takes on subjects such as women’s role in the war, the music and the films of the time, the Vietnamese perspective, race and the war, and veterans and post-traumatic stress disorder. Features include: chapter summaries timelines discussion questions guides to further reading a companion website with primary source documents and tools (such as music and movie playlists) for both instructors and students. Heavily illustrated and welcoming to students and scholars of this infamous and pivotal time, America and the Vietnam War is a perfect companion to any course on the Vietnam War Era.

In 1963, a photograph had sent the world into a frenzy. It was of a monk who sat solemnly as if he was in deep meditation in the middle of a busy intersection in the capital city of Saigon as flames licked all over his body. The egregious image of the monk being burned alive spread like wildfire and set in motion a series of events that will leave utter chaos, anarchy, and devastation in its wake. The monk was Thich Quang Duc, and his act of self-immolation was done in protest of the systematic persecution of Buddhists by the Roman Catholic government of South Vietnam. The air in the near vicinity was redolent with the stench of the burning flesh. This, along with the wails of the gathered monks and nuns, the utter despair and shock of the onlookers, all contributed to make it an event in the history of Vietnam that will have ripples to this day. Today, Saigon, the capital city of South Vietnam is no more. Saigon exists only in the realms of turbulent history and burning memories. Saigon itself is history, but it's tragic story lives on. It will always be the city of the burning monk; the monk who sat steadfast even when his body was burnt to ashes. A monk had become a martyr, an unlikely scenario even for a post-World War II world. But what does a monk in the small city of Saigon have to do with a great power like America? Why did America enter the Vietnam War? The Vietnam War had cost America 58000 lives, approximately a trillion dollars, costs a president, stoked severe and unprecedented social unrest, and all of this only to be defeated in the end by a small technologically underdeveloped country like Vietnam. Why did the United States of America plunge itself into the war, jeopardizing the lives of thousands of its troops, and exhausting its economic and military resources for a war that it had no stakes to claim at all. In hindsight, America’s decision to enter the war is often stated as a monumental strategic and diplomatic blunder and a humanitarian catastrophe with long-lasting repercussions. The United States of America had no political, strategic, or economic gains in Vietnam. Vietnam didn’t possess any resources that America wanted. The Vietnam War was an internal strife, and the constant skirmishes were for independence from French colonists, then why did America get itself into a soup knowing fully well that it was an unwarranted war? To know why America lost a war it had never wanted to enter in the first place, let’s first know the context. What was the stimulus that triggered the Vietnam War, what were the casualties and the aftermath, and finally how and why did the powerful, technologically advanced, super-power country like the United States of America lose the war that had been going on for an inordinate twenty years?

Through a collection of original source documents and the words of those who lived through it, The Vietnam War gives insight into the historic background and events leading to American involvement and escalation of the war. Professor Mitch Yamasaki examines the major interpretations of how and why the U.S. became involved, what it hoped to accomplish, and how a poorly armed guerilla army thwarted U.S. efforts. Carefully selected materials highlight the forces that led to President Johnson's dilemma, the country's deep divisions over the war, and the ongoing reexamination of the Vietnam War.
