Review
"Overall, this collection will inform and challenge readers, who will discover stimulating perspectives that deliver on Young and Buzzanco's claims, comprising a welcome addition to the literature." History: Reviews of New Books
"The quality of the essays... make it an easy recommendation to those looking at the war."
Journal of American Studies
"This terrific collection of twenty-four original articles is as valuable for the teacher as for the student of the Vietnam War. The contributors, who universally rank among the foremost experts on both the War and Southeast Asian history, utilize diverse frameworks and diverse sources to produce diverse perspectives. Young and Buzzanco warrant praise and thanks for assembling a volume sure to become mandatory reading." Richard Immerman, Temple University
"These stimulating essays on both the Southeast Asian and American sides of the war contribute valuable new insights into old debates, such as presidential decisions, and leading-edge investigations into new issues, such as ethnicity, gender, and memory." David L. Anderson, University of Indianapolis
