This is a scholarly assessment of broad-ranging research on the
Vietnam War over the last seventeen years by the editor of the
prize-winning Dictionary of the Vietnam War. James Olson and his
contributors offer fascinating insights as they evaluate the
significant literature, films, and TV programs, offering different
perspectives on the historical background; strategy and conduct of
the war; the perspectives of Americans, the Indochinese, women,
minorities, and veterans; the impact of the war on the homefront;
and major problems and issues in the aftermath of the war.
This one-volume major reference covers all genres of literature,
primary and secondary sources, personal narratives and oral
histories, fiction and non-fiction, popular accounts, expert
studies of military strategy and operations, Indochinese studies,
books about the involvement and role of women and blacks, and
discussions about Indochinese refugees, prisoners of war, those
missing in action, veterans and post-traumatic shock. Films, TV
programs, comic books and studies pointing to the effect of the war
on the homefront and on others make up an important part of the
book. A full index makes the volume easily accessible to students,
scholars, and professionals in military studies, American and world
history, American studies and popular culture, political science
and international relations--an important acquisition for libraries
of all kind.
