| Summary |
"International Perspectives on Vietnam, the newest edition in the Texas A&M University Press series on Foreign Relations and the Presidency, is a collection of analyses that looks at the Vietnam War in terms of its significance to the global arena. Under the guidance of editors Lloyd C. Gardner and Ted Gittinger, the contributors, representing both communist and capitalist backgrounds, examine whether the Vietnam War was responsible for the transformation of the international system. They do this by looking at the international system at the beginning of the war and at the end and measuring how much of the difference in the two periods is the result of the war."--BOOK JACKET |
