Focuses on the complex effects of the American defeat and humiliation, arguing that a full understanding of the Vietnam Syndrome requires a proper appreciation of crucial shaping elements in Vietnamese and American history. Simons, a freelance author, discusses the evolution of American imperialism and capitalism; the framework of the Cold War; the character of the United States as an undemocratic plutocracy; and US instigated terrorism, repression, and genocide in post-war Vietnam, El Salvador, and Iraq.

Review:
'This is a terrifying book that should be required reading for every student of twentieth-century history. It is written by an author burning with anger at what was done in Vietnam, but the evidence is so clear and the documentation so meticulously marshalled that it cannot be brushed aside as just another example of anti-American paranoia.' - Tony Benn, MP
