Hard bound. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No dust jacket as published. First. In the history of American warfare, no military action is so controversial or misunderstood as the Vietnam Conflict. Since America's first involvement in the 1940s, the causes, effects, and lingering ambiguities have been discussed and deb…ated at great length. Vietnam is the quintessential intellectuals' war. This dictionary of quotations records the words of the famous, the infamous and the unknown alike. Presidents and dissidents and everyone in between cover the gamut of topics related to the war and their comments range from the sobering to the shocking to the ironic to the profound. The quotations are arranged by year, beginning in 1944 with the first hints of trouble to come in Southeast Asia, and continuing up to the end of the 20th century. The final section is a collection of generally undated proverbs, graffiti and comments that describe war in general and capture the Vietnam experience in particular. Each quotation includes the speaker and the time or occasion that prompted it, as well as background information on the utterance and the events to which it refers. New in publisher's shrink-wrap; bound in decorative boards - no DJ as issued. 294 pp. Size: 29 x 22 cm.
