Vietnam’s Prodigal Heroes examines the critical role of desertion in the international Vietnam War debate. Paul Benedikt Glatz traces American deserters’ odyssey of exile and activism in Europe, Japan, and North America to demonstrate how their speaking out and unprecedented levels of desertion in the US military changed the traditional image of the deserter.

Operation Babylift was one of the largest humanitarian efforts of the 20th Century. As American troops were pulled out of Vietnam, the vulnerable bui doi orphans were left exposed to the dangers presented by the North Vietnamese invasion. These children, many of whom were of mixed race, had nowhere to go and their caretakers in the orphanages were overwhelmed with the tasks of both caring for small children and defending them from the perils of war. President Gerald Ford made a decision to airlift these innocent children out of Southeast Asia. Would there there be enough time and resources available to get these children out of the country and into the arms of loving, adoptive families? Saving the Vietnamese Orphans is the true story of this compassionate and dangerous effort on the parts of thousands of military personnel, civilians, and humanitarian workers to rescue these precious children from the terrible fate that awaited them if they remained.

This book is based on the community of Pueblo Colorado during the Vietnam Era and particularity focused on the young men who died during that war whose home of record is Pueblo Colorado. Not only is it about these brave youngsters who went to war, it is about the community, their support, both then and today. The purpose of this book is from the authors desire that as time passes the memory of these individuals do not fade in oblivion, nor the atmosphere that surrounded the community during this period. The motivation for this book came when the author initiated his desire to do something for his friends who died in Vietnam and convinced a local cemetery, Roselawn, to host a travelling replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC, to the cemetery in July2016 as part of the Cemeteries 125th Anniversary. After the four-day event the author felt that more needed to be said about the sixty-four meny whose 'home of record 'was Pueblo and approximately twenty more brave heroes who had either a personal of relationship or a relationship with someone from Pueblo. We also wanted to show the great outpouring that the people who came to the event, the Gold Star Families, and other community members who showed they still cared and remembered after nearly fifty years since the end of Vietnam. As back drop for the book we used the ceremonies during the event to display this emotional and dramatic stage to tell our story. In addition the author spend countless hours of research to assure the upmost accuracy of the history of the war tself. Being a veteran of the Era, but not the Southeastern Theater itself, the author tells the story as he saw it unfold and as he understood it from the perspective of the community, his family, and those whom he served with, in the National Guard, during the era. He tries to be honest about his feelings and yet tell the story from the perspective of what happened, the feeling of the community, and the United States. He goes into detail of the root causes of the war, the United States reaction and tries to understand the perceptions of Vietnamese people themselves. McKenna puts together a dramatic story that is not only historically correct .it also captures the attitude of both the people who went to Vietnam and those who stayed behind and listened to the news each day hoping they would not recognize a name they knew, the greatest feat of the book however is the dedication to each person honored in the book, He went to extreme lengths to look up individual records (as mush as he could), being blatantly honest to the point it may have distorted someone's previous understanding and perception of the facts, and created a record of the heroics, passion, patriotism, and the dedication of these young men, and a testament to the values of the community they all shared in common, Pueblo Colorado. He also makes sure that anyone who had a, even a small part in he telling this story is acknowledged, because it was the community who told the story, not the author, it were people who served in Vietnam who put together the ceremonies with pride and respect, and it the Gold Star Mothers and other Gold Star family's members that brought an astonishing spirit that overwhelms anyone who was at Roselawn in July 2016. This celebration told of who this community was in the 1960's and 70- and who we are today. If you are into honesty, optimism, heart-felt emotion, history, patriotism, and great feeling book, then please read this. This is our story. and we are proud to share. .

This book examines the relationship between concepts of heroic "gallantry," as projected by the British honours system, and the sociocultural, political, military and international transitions of the supposed Sixties "cultural revolution." In so doing, it considers how a conservative, hierarchical and state-orientated concept both evolved and endured during a period of immense change in which traditional assumptions of deference to elites were increasingly challenged. Covering the period often defined as "The Long Sixties," from 1955–79, this study concentrates on four distinct transitions undergone by both state and non-state gallantry awards, including developments within the welfare state, class and gender discrimination, counterinsurgency and decolonisation. It ultimately sheds fresh light upon the importance of postwar decades to the continued evolution of concepts of gallantry and heroism in British culture using a range of underexplored government and media archives. It will be of interest to scholars, students and general researchers of heroism in modern Britain, the Sixties revolution, postwar military history and both the social and political evolution of British honours, decorations and medals.

First published in 1997, this volume explores the twenty years it has taken the United States to decide where Vietnam belongs on its mental landscape, as indicated by the establishment of official diplomatic relations between the two countries on August 5, 1995. Having won the Cold War, but lost a skirmish in Vietnam, America’s defeat can now be set in context against subsequent campaigns in Afghanistan, Angola, El Salvador, Eritrea, Nicaragua, Somalia, Sudan and elsewhere which suggest that the best any outsider can expect by intervening in Third World domestic conflicts is a hugely expensive, bloody stalemate. Tai Sung-An identifies that, despite America’s painful, deep and very expensive involvement in Vietnam for a lengthy two decades, Americans fought, failed and left while remaining ignorant of the most elementary knowledge of Vietnam, symptomatic of a cultural gap, isolationism and even intellectual complacency.

This study examines the changes in the American film industry, audiences, and feature films between 1965 and 1975. With transformations in production codes, adjustments in national narratives, a rise in independent filmmaking, and a new generation of directors and producers addressing controversial issues on the mainstream screen, film was a major influence on the social changes that defined these years. After a contextual history of film during this era, several key films are discussed, including The Graduate, Alice's Restaurant, Easy Rider, Midnight Cowboy, M*A*S*H, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Little Big Man, and The Godfather series. The author describes how these films represented a generation, constructed and deconstructed American culture, and made important contributions during ten years of great change in America.
