.Through the lenses of history this important book probes the
events in Southeast Asia in the thirty years after 1945. This book
compiles the most current scholarly interpretations on the causes
and outcome of the Vietnam War. The contributors reflect on and
discuss various aspects of the Vietnam conflicts and clear away
many of the misconceptions and myths that still surround the wars.
They try to understand how and why events in Southeast Asia
happened as they did, and the impact they had both regionally and
globally. A useful reference for any scholar of the Vietnam War,
"The Vietnam War as History" will appeal to the general reader as
well, particularly those who served in Vietnam.
The chapters offer a diverse set of approaches of the war. Many
of the contributors disagree philosophically on the causes and
nature of the conflict. Some--Thomas Cubbage and Harry
Summers--write from their personal involvement in the war. Others
take a more detached view. And still others seek to provide further
insight into some of the twisted questions that surrounded the
conflict. All are united in their attempts to come to terms with
the wars in Vietnam as a distinct historical event.
