More than most post-1970 conflicts involving US forces, the
conflict in Iraq has been fought out against a background of
frequently invoked memories from the era of the Vietnam War. The
essays in this book offer a series of perspectives on connections
and parallels between the Vietnam War and the 2003 invasion of, and
conflict in, Iraq. The contributors particularly examine the impact
of the Vietnam analogy on the War in Iraq, assessing the military
tactical lessons learned from the Vietnam War and exploring the
influence and persistence of its legacy in US politics, culture and
diplomacy. The volume holds up to original interrogation some
commonly held assumptions about historical analogy, and several
distinguished authorities on the Vietnam War era, in particular,
offer their thoughts on the value and applicability of Vietnam-Iraq
parallels. If most contributions point out some obvious
dissimilarities between the two eras, notably the transformed
post-Cold War international environment, the similarities,
particularly those relating to the problems of cultural
misunderstanding, are also apparent. Vietnam in Iraq will be of
great interest for all students and researchers of the Iraq War,
strategic studies, international relations and American politics.
