Produktbeschreibung
Schulzinger looks at how the controversies of the war have continued to be fought in books and films, ranging from novels such as "Going After Cacciato" and "Paco's Story" to such movies as "The Green Berets" (directed by and starring John Wayne), "The Deer Hunter", "Apocalypse Now", and "Rambo". Perhaps most important, the author explores the power of the Vietnam metaphor on foreign policy, particularly in Central America, Somalia, the Gulf War, and the war in Iraq. We see how the "lessons" of the war have been reinterpreted by different ends of the political spectrum. Using a vast array of sources - from government documents to memoirs, film, and fiction - "A Time for Peace" provides an illuminating account of a war that still looms large in the American imagination.
A prominent American historian sheds light on how deeply etched memories of the devastating Vietnam War have altered America's political, social, and cultural landscape. Perhaps most important, the author explores the power of the Vietnam metaphor on foreign policy, particularly in Central America, Somalia, the Gulf War, and the war in Iraq.
