The United States and Vietnam, 1941-1975
One of this century's watershed events for American politics, foreign policy,        culture, values, and economy, the Vietnam War is still always with us even after        more than two decades. Now, eminent historian Robert D. Schulzinger has combed the        newly available documentary evidence, both in public and private archives, to        produce an ambitious, masterful account of three decades of war in Vietnam--the        first major full-length history of the conflict to be based on primary sources.In A        Time for War, Schulzinger paints a vast yet intricate canvas of more than three        decades of conflict in Vietnam, spanning the first rumblings of rebellion against        the French colonialists to the American intervention and eventual withdrawal.          Drawing on massive research, he offers a vivid and insightful portrait of the        changes in Vietnamese politics and society, from the rise of Ho Chi Minh to the        infighting and corruption that plagued Saigon. He reveals precisely how outside        powers--first the French, then the Americans--committed themselves to war in        Indochina, even against their own better judgment, and offers sharp criticism of the        American military effort. Finally, Schulzinger paints a brilliant political and        social portrait of the times, illuminating the impact of the war on the lives of        ordinary Americans and Vietnamese.A Time for War will stand as the landmark history        of America's longest war. Based on extensive archival research, it will be the first        place readers will turn in an effort to understand this tragic, divisive        conflict.
