Blackwell. Paperback. Paperback in very good condition.\n"The Indochina wars have cast a long shadow over world affairs. For 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.\nIn this concise and lively volume, award-winning author Robert Buzzanco examines the role America played in the Vietnam War and how the consequences of this involvement dramatically changed American politics, culture, and society at a period when the United States was most vulnerable. Divided into two sections, Vietnam and the Transformation of American Life begins with a history of the emergence of Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnamese nationalist movement and explains why the United States intervened in Vietnam despite pessimism over American military prospects there. Buzzanco then traces the repeated escalations of the war in the Johnson and Nixon years, and, finally, the causes and consequences of American defeat. Part Two focuses on the major political and social movements of the 1960s: liberalism, civil rights, womens liberation, student activist movements protesting the war, and other youth culture movements. The book demonstrates how domestic mobilization against the war changed US political and social life and these changes gave rise, in turn, to other movements and consequent changes of great significance to American society. The Vietnam War, which dominated American life during the 1960s, helped to create, radicalize, and alter social and political life in the US. In Vietnam and the Transformation of American Life , Robert Buzzanco generates fresh and intriguing insights that will inspire both students and general readers as they approach this dramatically divisive, volatile, and ultimately crucial period of American history.

Brand new. Presenting a history of the role America played in the Vietnam War, this text examines how the consequences of the war changed American culture and society. Vietnam occurred simultaneously with the civil rights movement, women's liberation and youth culture movements. This volume examines how the war helped transform society - sometimes radically - at a period when America was most vulnerable. The book is divided into two sections. Part One begins with a history of the emergence of Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnamese nationalist movement and explains why the United States intervened in Vietnam despite the pessimism over American military prospects there. It further discusses the repeated escalations of the war in the Johnson and Nixon years and the lack of lasting success, and finally, the causes and consequences of American defeat. Part Two examines the major political and social movements of the 1960s - liberalism, Civil Rights, and youth culture. Students mobilized against the war in massive numbers, changing the nature of American political and social life and giving rise to other movements in turn.;African-Americans, women, Latinos, and Native Americans intensified their own efforts, already underway, to secure equal rights in American society. The Vietnam War, by dominating American life throughout the decade, helped create, radicalize, and even destroy social and political movements. This text aims to offer new insight into this divisive, volatile and crucial era in American history and its lasting impact on American politics and society. (more information)
