Description

Written on the premise that the Vietnam War was “not an idiosyncracy [but] rooted in history, habit and hauteur” this account regards the conflict in terms of American post war policy and internal racial policy since 1945 and looks to reveal their effects at home. A very good copy, occasional ink scoring & marginalia, in price-clipped dust jacket with torn spine tail. Owner name and date in ink on flyleaf (432 pages, bibliography, index.)
