The War That Never Ends by David L Anderson
More than three decades after the withdrawal of American troops from Southeast Asia, the Vietnam War still resonates in political and cultural discourse and still motivates vibrant historical inquiry. The eminent scholars featured in The War That Never Ends present the newest perspectives on the war in Vietnam, from the homefront to Ho Chi Minh City, from the government halls to the hotbeds of activist opposition. The seventeen essays compiled by David L. Anderson and John Ernst examine Vietnamese as well as American experiences of the grueling conflict, breaking new ground on questions relating to gender, religion, ideology, media, and public opinion. The War That Never Ends sheds new light on the evolving historical meanings of the Vietnam War, its enduring influence on current matters of global significance, and its potential to influence American foreign policy, in times of peace and war.
These excellent essays by some of the leading historians of the war represent the best of the new international history - reassessing traditional interpretations, exploring new questions and neglected aspects of the conflict, and drawing on extensive research in recently accessible archival material in Vietnam and elsewhere- Andrew L. Johns, coeditor of The Eisenhower Administration, the Third World, and the Globalization of the Cold War Does an excellent job posing and answering the question of why Vietnam still matters and why it will remain the 'war that never ends'. - Kathryn C. Statler, author of Replacing France: The Origins of American Intervention in Vietnam
