Lien-Hang T. Nguyen holds the Dorothy Borg Chair in the History of the United States and East Asia at Columbia University. She is the author of Hanoi's War: An International History of the War for Peace (2012), which won prizes from the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations and the Society for Military History. She is the co-founder of Vietnamese Studies at Columbia and serves on the Board of Trustees of Fulbright University Vietnam. Pierre Asselin holds the Dwight E. Stanford Chair in US Foreign Relations History at San Diego State University. He is the author of A Bitter Peace: Washington, Hanoi, and the Making of the Paris Agreement (2002), Hanoi's Road to the Vietnam War, 1954–1965 (2013), and Vietnam's American War (2018), now in its second edition.

'The Cambridge History of the Vietnam War stands as a landmark scholarly achievement, a product of deep research, rigorous analysis, and ambitious editorial vision. Spanning the war's origins, its escalation to global prominence, and its complex aftermath, the set offers a comprehensive and richly textured account that will shape Vietnam War scholarship for years to come. While its density may challenge nonspecialist readers, its rewards- in terms of insight and depth - are immense. Whether for historians or graduate students, these volumes represent an indispensable resource for understanding one of the most consequential conflicts of the twentieth century.'
