No single event since World War II has marked this country's
foreign policy and national image as deeply as did the war in
Vietnam. Vietnam and America is a complete history of the war, as
documented in essays by leading experts and in original source
material. With generous selections from the documentary records,
the book dispels distortions and illuminates in depth the many
facets of the war, from Vietnam's history before the war, to
Washington's insider policy making, to troop perspectives, to the
impact back on the home front. In essays introducing each major
stage of the war, the editors elucidate the issues, foreign policy
choices, and consequences of U.S. involvement. Substantial
headnotes put each document in historical perspective. This
comprehensive anthology is an invaluable reference for anyone who
wants to understand the Vietnam War.
In this insightful anthology, historians Marvin E. Gettleman and
Stuart Schaar have assembled a broad selection of documents and
contemporary scholarship to give a view of the history of the
peoples from the core Islamic lands, from the Golden Age of Islam
to today. With carefully framed essays beginning each chapter and
brief introductory notes accompanying over seventy readings, the
anthology reveals the multifaceted societies and political systems
of the Islamic world. Selections range from theological texts
illuminating the differences between Shiite and Sunni Muslims, to
diplomatic exchanges and state papers, to memoirs and literary
works, to manifestos of Islamic radicals. This newly revised and
expanded edition covers the dramatic changes in the region since
2005, and the popular uprisings that swept from Tunisia in January
2011 through Egypt, Libya, and beyond. The Middle East and Islamic
World Reader is a fascinating historical survey of complex
societies that--now more than ever--are crucial for us to
understand.
