During the Vietnam War, Vietnamese Buddhist peace activists made
extraordinary sacrifices -- including self-immolation -- to try to
end the fighting. They hoped to establish a neutralist government
that would broker peace with the Communists and expel the
Americans. Robert J. Topmiller explores South Vietnamese attitudes
toward the war, the insurgency, and U.S. intervention, and lays
bare the dissension within the U.S. military. The Lotus Unleashed
is one of the few studies to illuminate the impact of internal
Vietnamese politics on U.S. decision-making and to examine the
power of a nonviolent movement to confront a violent
superpower.
