Much of the history written about the Vietnam War overlooks the U.S. Marine Corps Combined Action Platoons. These CAPs lived in the Vietnamese villages, with the difficult and dangerous mission of defending the villages from both the National Liberation Front guerrillas and the soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army. The CAPs also worked to improve living conditions by helping the people with projects, such as building schools, bridges, and irrigation systems for their fields. In War in the Villages, Ted Easterling examines how well the CAPs performed as a counterinsurgency method, how the Marines adjusted to life in the Vietnamese villages, and how they worked to accomplish their mission. The CAPs generally performed their counterinsurgency role well, but they were hampered by factors beyond their control. Most important was the conflict between the Army and the Marine Corps over an appropriate strategy for the Vietnam War, along with weakness of the government of the Republic of South Vietnam and the strategic and the tactical ability of the North Vietnamese Army. War in the Villages helps to explain how and why this potential was realized and squandered. Marines who served in the CAPs served honorably in difficult circumstances. Most of these Marines believed they were helping the people of South Vietnam, and they served superbly. The failure to end the war more favorably was no fault of theirs.

Before collectivization of agriculture in Estonia, “kulaks” (better-off farmers) were persecuted and many of them were finally deported in March 1949. This book is situated on the local level; the aim is to understand what these processes meant from the perspective of the Estonian rural population, a kind of study that has been missing so far. Analyzes the mechanisms of repression, applying new aspects. Repression was mainly conducted through a bureaucratic process where individual denunciations were not even necessary. The main tool of persecution was a screening of the rural population with the help of records, censuses and local knowledge, in order to identify, or invent, “kulak families”. Moreover, in the Estonian sources, the World War II history of each individual was a crucial part of screenings. The prisoners of war of the Red Army, held in camps in Estonia, played an unexpected part in this campaign. Another result is a so far neglected wave of peaceful resistance as the kulak identifications were challenged in 1947-48. This has not been addressed in the existing literature. The results mainly answer the question “how” this process worked, whereas the question ”why” finds hypothetical responses in the life trajectories of actors.

War and Peace in The Global Village is a collage of images and text that sharply illustrates the effects of electronic media and new technology on man. Marshall McLuhan wrote this book thirty years ago and following its publication predicted that the forthcoming information age would be "a transitional era of profound pain and tragic identity quest." Marshall McLuhan illustrates the fact that all social changes are caused by introduction of new technologies. He interprets these new technologies as extensions or "self-amputations of our own being," because technologies extend bodily reach. McLuhan's ideas and observations seem disturbingly accurate and clearly applicable to the world in which we live. War and Peace in the Global Village is a meditation on accelerating innovations leading to identity loss and war. Initially published in 1968, this text is regarded as a revolutionary work for its depiction of a planet made ever smaller by new technologies. A mosaic of pointed insights and probes, this text predicts a world without centres or boundaries. It illustrates how the electronic information travelling around the globe at the speed of light has eroded the rules of the linear, literate world. No longer can there be fixed positions or goals.

"Seldom does a book take readers so powerfully inside war crimes--both into the pain of the victims and, even more chilling, into the minds of the perpetrators. In a Washington so timid about supporting the international institutions designed to prevent such horrors, this book should be mandatory reading."--Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold's Ghost: a Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa "This searing documentary takes those large abstractions--ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity--and confronts us with the anguishing reality: the faces of the alleged killers and their victims, stories of shattered families, desolation of a ruined community. The book is also a stunning example of careful, determined pursuit of evidence by frontline human rights workers, our best hope for accountability and justice in the wake of systematic evil. This unparalleled account thus records the worst--and the best--of human capacities."--H. Jack Geiger, M.D., founding member and past president of Physicians for Human Rights "Marshalling precision in the face of obfuscation, clarity in the face of desolation, and lucidity in the face of oblivion, the authors and creators of A Village Destroyed have somehow managed to meld witness and majesty. Truth is beauty--sometimes the only solace left to us--and this is a harrowingly beautiful book."--Lawrence Weschler, author of A Miracle, A Universe: Settling Accounts with Torturers "Gilles Peress's photographs take us where we have never gone before: into the killing zones of Kosovo where ethnic Albanians were tortured, executed, robbed, and driven from the land. Here is an astounding record that will make it impossible for us to say that we never knew what happened in Kosovo or how."--Gloria Emerson, author of Gaza: A Year in the Intifada "A Village Destroyed is a very important book, offering a revealing examination of how contemporary human rights investigations and international efforts to do justice are transforming the context in which great crimes are committed."--Aryeh Neier, President of the Open Society Institute "By some of the best investigators and reporters in the human rights movement, A Village Destroyed helps comfort the afflicted by letting them speak in their own voices. Let us hope it also serves to afflict the comforted."--Juan E. Mendez, Vice-President, Inter-American Commission on Human Rights "This is a groundbreaking work. It is the anatomy of a crime: the destruction of a village. The photographs and witness accounts are of astounding power. The book is crucial for anyone who wants to know what happened in Kosovo."--Laura Silber, co-author of Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation

VILLAGE AT WAR: AN ACCOUNT OF CONFLICT IN VIETNAM WITH A SPECIAL FOREWORD BY H.H. THE 14TH DALAI LAMA OF TIBET First published in 1980, this is a classic account of decades of warfare in Vietnam, seen through the eyes of the people in a large central Vietnamese village. This EXPANDED and UPDATED Third Edition also includes forewords to previous editions by Cornell Professor George McT. Kahin and U.S. Senator Eugene J. McCarthy. This is the real-life drama of a Vietnamese village as related by the villagers themselves to the young American who came to live nearby and stayed almost until the collapse of the Saigon government in 1975. We hear from a wide range of Vietnamese, and we gain an understanding of the trauma, confusion, and cruelty of war. With 32 photographs, many of which appear publicly here for the first time. Comments on the Book: "A different kind of story about Vietnam emerges in Village at War." - The New York Times "The Vietnam War, as seen through the eyes of the Vietnamese, is a haunting and absorbing saga." - The Asia Mail "Village at War is a superb and unique contribution to the literature on the Vietnam conflict. Trullinger is remarkably successful at combining an intensive case study of one Vietnamese village with the larger picture of modern Vietnamese political history from French colonialism through the Communist victory in 1975. It is truly an example of scholarship that makes history and politics come alive." - William A. Joseph, Wellesley College "I'm a big admirer of Village at War." - Fredrik Logevall, Harvard University "Thank you very much...for your important book Village at War." - King Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia "This is a detailed description of how war and revolution swept up a single village in central Vietnam. Trullinger's purpose is to present the conflict 'primarily as villagers experienced it - not to turn My Thuy Phuong into a testing ground for theories and strategies.'... It is successful in describing how one village survived Vietnam's passage from colonialism to independence and socialism." - Journal of Asian Studies "...a well-rounded account of the political and military struggle that engulfed Vietnamese society for 30 years." - Choice "I have used this book in teaching the Vietnam War (as an incident in the history and culture of Vietnam, rather than as U.S. policy) since it was first published (1980). It gives a wonderful level of detail, insights into local community and into actual human beings which gives the study of the war a new dimension. Vietnamese often say something like, 'Vietnam was not a war, it is a country.' This book, coupled with Jeffrey Race's 'War Comes to Long An, Revolutionary Conflict in a Vietnamese Province, ' which is written from a very different political perspective, offers insights into the war that can be gotten no place else. While it is basically an anthropological study and most useful for serious study of the war, it is also very readable." - Jeffrey Barlow, Pacific University (Google Books review) About the Author, Jim Trullinger, Ph.D.: With USAID in Vietnam from 1969-1972. Returned to Vietnam in 1974 to conduct research for this book, sponsored by the East-West Center and the University of Hawaii. In recent decades, Trullinger worked at several large corporations in the U.S. and ran his own market research firm. Now enjoying life in Naples, Florida, at peace with the cosmos. Very pleased to have collaborated on this book with his hero the Dalai Lama. His Holiness' contribution elevates the book in this time of divisions, suffering, and violence. May the book's account of senseless fighting and destruction in one Vietnamese village inspire readers to a path of compassion a

The true story of seventeen months in the life of a Vietnamese village where a handful of American Marines and Vietnamese militia lived and died together attempting to defend it. In Black Hawk Down, the fight went on for a day. In We Were Soldiers Once & Young, the fighting lasted three days. In The Village, one Marine squad fought for 495 days—half of them died. Few American battles have been so extended, savage and personal. A handful of Americans volunteered to live among six thousand Vietnamese, training farmers to defend their village. Such “Combined Action Platoons” (CAPs) are now a lost footnote about how the war could have been fought; only the villagers remain to bear witness. This is the story of fifteen resolute young Americans matched against two hundred Viet Cong; how a CAP lived, fought and died. And why the villagers remember them to this day.
