Beskrivning
Split into three volumes, The Cambridge History of the Vietnam War brings together seventy-five leading experts on the war from across the world, covering the late colonial era to present-day legacies, using a range of diverse methodologies and approaches. When did the fighting begin, why and how did it escalate, and in what manner did the violence end and the legacies endure? These are some of the fundamental questions that have consumed scholars, whose works trigger more questions than offer definitive answers. The volumes seek neither to reconcile past arguments, enflame ongoing disputes, or set off new debates - instead, they intend to celebrate the diversity and differences in scholarship and attest to the indisputable importance of this conflict in global history. From decision-making in the corridors of power, to everyday life at war on the battlefront and homefront, to cultural legacies of the war on a global level, the three volumes present the most exhaustive and authoritative treatment of the seminal conflict.

'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.' Jean-Michel Turcotte, H-War
