Fire and Rain
This book offers a narrative of the way national security decisions formed at the highest levels of government affect the lives of individuals at home and abroad. By drawing these connections, the text looks at policy decisions about Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, and conveys their significance. It contextualizes Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger's decisions within a wider institutional and societal framework. While recognizing the distinctive pers…

“Have you heard of My Lai?” When I ask this question to students, only a sprinkling of hands go up. It is surprising, since decades ago, the photos of dead civilians, lying in a ditch, were plastered all over the news media. Of all the horrors inflicted on the Vietnamese people from that time, this is the one “war crime” that elicited significant public attention and outrage. There was reason to expect that news of this 1968 massacre would be han…
Engaging the Evil Empire
Although the end of the Cold War was a momentous and surprising development, scholarly analysis of its occurrence has been remarkably thin. Unlike the origins of the conflict, which inspired a vast literature, discussions of its conclusion has often take this outcome for granted or ascribe it to simple causes, whether President Ronald Reagan's hard-line policies, the internal weakness of the Soviet Union, or an unspecified combination of the two.…
Dangerous Grounds
Among the most persistent myths of the Vietnam War era is the ostensible conflict between hippy antiwar activists and less privileged American soldiers, who suffered and sacrificed on the battlefields of Southeast Asia. The intractable image of demonstrators spitting on returning soldiers or calling them “baby killers” persists, even in the more nuanced PBS series The Vietnam War (2017–2018). David L. Parsons's valuable Dangerous Grounds provides…

The Old Cold War
Just when we thought it had disappeared, the Cold War is back. There are some alterations: fresh villains, different terrain, a new generation of high-tech, expensive weapons and a public that is still reeling from an actual (not hypothesized) attack on American soil. Yet the elements of similarity are striking. Once again we are warned of an international conspiracy, comprised of fanatical, subversive cells supported by powerful nation-states, w…
Could the People Decide
There are some questions so fundamental that cutting-edge scholarship neglects to explore them. It has been a long time since diplomatic historians have seriously debated the issue of whether the American people play a significant role in shaping U.S. foreign policy. The informal consensus is probably not really. But how this disenfranchisement came about, the implications for American society and the world, and the possibilities for change can s…

Drawing the Line
In this fresh and challenging study of the origins of the Cold War, Professor Eisenberg traces the American role in dividing post-war Germany. Drawing upon many original documentary sources, she examines the Allied meeting on the Elbe, follows the Great Powers through their confrontation in Berlin, and culminates with the creation of the West German state in the fall of 1949. In contrast to many works in the field, the book argues that the partit…
