Book Synopsis Exiting Indochina by : Richard H. Solomon
Download or read book Exiting Indochina written by Richard H. Solomon and published by US Institute of Peace Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most Americans, the "exit" from Indochina occurred in 1973, with the withdrawal of the U.S. military from South Vietnam. In fact, the final exit did not occur until two decades later, after the collapse of the Republic of Vietnam in 1975, the Cambodian revolution, and a decade of Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia. Only in the early 1990s were the major powers able to negotiate a settlement of the Cambodia conflict and withdraw from the region. This book recounts the diplomacy that brought an end to great power involvement in Indochina, including the negotiations for a UN peace process in Cambodia and construction of a "road map" for normalizing U.S.-Vietnam relations. In so doing, this volume also highlights the changing character of diplomacy at the beginning of the 1990s, when, at least temporarily, an era of military confrontation among the major world powers gave way to political management of international conflicts.

Book excerpt: Although the Paris Peace Accords ended direct United States military involvement in Vietnam on January 27, 1973, the process of withdrawal lasted over three years. This illuminating volume chronicles this withdrawal, its background, and its impact through a combination of official history and first-person accounts from key players at every level.

Book Synopsis The Final Days of Empire by : Thomas Helling
Download or read book The Final Days of Empire written by Thomas Helling and published by Combat Studies Institute Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The hills of northern Indochina, the frontiers of a region called Tonkin where stark highlands merge with those of the neighboring Chinese provinces and, to the west, give way to the valleys of Laos, were the backdrop to the death throes of France's imperial designs of Indochinese domination. Blood would be spilt here - in torrents. It was an ugly war, a war of contempt, of treachery, of sabotage. It was a war of victims and abandonment and atonement; a war of desecration, of mutilation, of evisceration. Above all, it was a war of a geography as malignant as the combatants within. And for those sent to heal, a war of sweat, death, isolation, and uncommon benevolence"--
Book Synopsis A Time for Peace by : Robert D. Schulzinger
Download or read book A Time for Peace written by Robert D. Schulzinger and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prominent American historian Robert D. Schulzinger sheds light on how deeply etched memories of the devastating conflict in Vietnam have altered America's political, social, and cultural landscape. Schulzinger examines the impact of the war from many angles. He ranges from the heated controversy over soldiers who were missing in action, to the influx of over a million Vietnam refugees into the US, to the many ways the war has continued to be fought in books and films and, perhaps most important, the power of the Vietnam War as a metaphor influencing foreign policy in places like Iraq.
Book Synopsis International Relations in Southeast Asia by : Donald E. Weatherbee
Download or read book International Relations in Southeast Asia written by Donald E. Weatherbee and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This balanced, comprehensive guide to Southeast Asian politics offers a sensible but nondogmatic realist approach to the region's international relations. In this revised, second edition, Donald E. Weatherbee lucidly explains the dynamics of the Southeast Asian subsystem as a struggle for autonomy in pursuit of national interests. He explores three important questions, the answers to which will shape the future Southeast Asia. Will democratic regimes transform international relations in Southeast Asia? Will national leaders succeed in reinventing ASEAN as a more effective collaborative mechanism? Finally, how will the evolving Chinese position, balancing and perhaps displacing the United States as Asia's great power, affect Southeast Asia's struggle for autonomy?
Book Synopsis Replacing France by : Kathryn C. Statler
Download or read book Replacing France written by Kathryn C. Statler and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2007-06-22 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using recently released archival materials from the United States and Europe, Replacing France: The Origins of American Intervention in Vietnam explains how and why the United States came to assume control as the dominant western power in Vietnam during the 1950s. Acting on their conviction that American methods had a better chance of building a stable, noncommunist South Vietnamese nation, Eisenhower administration officials systematically ejected French military, economic, political, bureaucratic, and cultural institutions from Vietnam. Kathryn C. Statler examines diplomatic maneuvers in Paris, Washington, London, and Saigon to detail how Western alliance members sought to transform South Vietnam into a modern, westernized, and democratic ally but ultimately failed to counter the Communist threat. Abetted by South Vietnamese prime minister Ngo Dinh Diem, Americans in Washington, D.C., and Saigon undermined their French counterparts at every turn, resulting in the disappearance of a French presence by the time Kennedy assumed office. Although the United States ultimately replaced France in South Vietnam, efforts to build South Vietnam into a nation failed. Instead, it became a dependent client state that was unable to withstand increasing Communist aggression from the North. Replacing France is a fundamental reassessment of the origins of U.S. involvement in Vietnam that explains how Franco-American conflict led the United States to pursue a unilateral and ultimately imperialist policy in Vietnam.
Book Synopsis The First Vietnam War by : Mark Atwood Lawrence
Download or read book The First Vietnam War written by Mark Atwood Lawrence and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-28 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the conflict between Vietnamese nationalists and French colonial rulers erupt into a major Cold War struggle between communism and Western liberalism? To understand the course of the Vietnam wars, it is essential to explore the connections between events within Vietnam and global geopolitical currents in the decade after the Second World War. In this illuminating work, leading scholars examine various dimensions of the struggle between France and Vietnamese revolutionaries that began in 1945 and reached its climax at Dien Bien Phu. Several essays break new ground in the study of the Vietnamese revolution and the establishment of the political and military apparatus that successfully challenged both France and the United States. Other essays explore the roles of China, France, Great Britain, and the United States, all of which contributed to the transformation of the conflict from a colonial skirmish to a Cold War crisis. Taken together, the essays enable us to understand the origins of the later American war in Indochina by positioning Vietnam at the center of the grand clash between East and West and North and South in the middle years of the twentieth century.
Download or read book Essays on Polarity written by Dee Wilson and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays in Polarity: Big Bang to Human Character advances the idea that the creative universe’s organizing principle is polarity in both natural and social phenomena, and that the cosmos is an experiment, an adventure and an entertainment in polarity. Furthermore, the book argues that the main dimensions of polarity were “announced” in the first instant of the Big Bang and have been reiterated in the biological evolution of mind, in early human social development and in human psychology, including in the perception of beauty. This theme is explored in chapters on early ideas regarding the sacred, and in reviews of books on World War 1 and the war in Indochina, and on cultural polarities and in an essay, “Why Is The World Beautiful”

Book Synopsis The United Nations and Global Security by : R. Price
Download or read book The United Nations and Global Security written by R. Price and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-03-17 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many have proclaimed the fundamentals of global security were altered by the September 11 terrorist attacks. Do these changes undercut or enhance the role of the United Nations? What do events like the role of the UN in the crisis over Iraq tell us? Here top scholars examine the role of the UN in preventing international and civil violence, arms control, deterring and reversing aggression, and addressing humanitarian crises. The chapters are concise while providing depth of understanding of the issues, positions and problems facing the United Nations and its member states in grappling with increased opportunities and threats. Their lively presentations of the drama of UN debates establish the contributions and shortcomings of global multilateralism in an era of U.S. hegemony and unilateralism.

Book Synopsis China Threat: Perceptions Myths by : Herbert Yee
Download or read book China Threat: Perceptions Myths written by Herbert Yee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War, one of the most significant debates in international relations has been the question of whether the rise of China as a major economic, political and military power will be a force for stability or instability in the international system and the East Asian region. Forceful arguments have been put forward on both sides. This book examines perceptions of the 'China Threat', and governments' policies in response to the perceived threat in a wide range of countries, including the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, South Asia, South-East Asia and the Middle East, as well as the perceptions of the Chinese themselves. For each country current security concerns and policies, especially the policy of engagement, are examined in detail, and future prospects for relations with China are assessed. As the Bush administration in Washington increasingly focuses on China as a 'strategic competitor' and Sino-US relations becomes increasingly tense, the 'China Threat' issue has come to dominate the security agenda in the Asia-Pacific region, and now poses the biggest foreign policy challenge of the 21st century.
