The Vietnam War lasted twenty years and resulted in the deaths of
over 58,000 American soldiers, with many more Vietnamese victims.
But the roots of the American-led conflict lay in the complex
colonial history of Vietnam itself. Here, Pablo de Orellana uses
recently declassified material to provide a new interpretation of
the diplomatic failures and processes that lead to the outbreak and
continuation of the conflict. Through a focus on the first Vietnam
War, de Orellana shows how and why a Southeast Asian French colony
already devastated by two wars came to be seen as an existential
threat by policymakers in the United States, and how an attempt to
stem the influence of the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of
China spiraled out of control. The Road to Vietnam features new
archival documents, including diplomatic notes and briefing
material, to construct a new history of America's descent into
conflict. This will be an essential resource for scholars and
students of the Vietnam War and 20th Century diplomatic history.
