Produktbeschreibung
An examination of the effect on the USA of defeat in the Vietnam War, which shows how US behaviour in Vietnam was shaped by elements in US history such as racial genocide, imperialism and capitalism, and the Cold War framework. The impact of defeat on US foreign policy is discussed with reference to post-war Vietnam, El Salvador and Iraq.
This book focuses on the 'Vietnam Syndrome' - the effects for the United States of the American defeat in the Vietnam War. It argues that a full understanding of the Syndrome requires a proper appreciation of key shaping elements in Vietnamese and American history. Attention is given to the racial genocide that attended the birth of the United States, to US imperialism and capitalism, and to the Cold War framework. The nature of America as a plutocracy is emphasised, followed by profiles of policy options and three specific issues: post-war Vietnam, El Salvador and Iraq.

Rezensionen
'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
