Book Reviews
- One of the most important books about Vietnam was "War Comes to Long An." Published in 1972, it was a deep look at the war from the rural Vietnamese perspective. Too much media had been in the cities, near elites & the U.S. Army, for this perspective. https://t.co/yizvp0EWvzLink to Tweet
About Book
This landmark study of the Vietnamese conflict, examined through the lens of the revolutionary and counter-revolutionary movements in the rural province of Long An up until American intervention in the area, offers a human, balanced, penetrating account of war. Two new forewords by Robert K. Brigham of Vassar College and Jeffrey Record of the Air War College explore the book's enduring influence. A new end chapter offers previously unpublished scholarship on the conflict.
