Vietnam and the Transformation of American Life by Robert Buzzanco

The Vietnam War, which dominated American life during the 1960s, helped to create, radicalize, and alter social and political life in the US.
"The Indochina wars have cast a long shadow over world affairsFor the victims, they were a devastating catastrophe. Their legacy for the United States was substantial, interacting in complex ways with internal developments in American society. Buzzanco's study examines these themes with skill and insight, informed by outstanding scholarship and enriched by perceptive understanding." Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
