Fidel Castro (1926–2016) and global solidarity

Music and International History in the Twentieth Century
For several decades, musicologists have dealt with the role of music in international relations using their own tools. They have focused on musical change in the context of modernity, especially how traditional music and folk music interact with music from other localities. Paradoxically, musicologists have contributed more to the field of international relations than historians or political scientists. Fortunately, those in history and political…

Imbalance of Scholarship: Gareth Porter's Vietnam War
Gareth Porter has a well-earned reputation as a scholar of Vietnam, with edited volumes of documents and work on the internal dynamics of Vietnamese politics and society on his curriculum vitae.1 Perhaps because of his impressive body of scholarship, however, this effort is deeply disappointing. He claims to be offering a new and dynamic explanation for the American intervention into Vietnam—namely that the United States has such a dominant globa…

The Search for Peace in Vietnam, 1964-1968
While there are countless numbers of works on the war in Vietnam, there is much less about efforts to secure peace there, so this book—a collection of papers from a 2001 conference at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library in Austin, Texas—is an attempt to address that issue. Of the twenty chapters, however, only a few add substance to our understanding of the war. Since the U.S. effort to negotiate a peace was never well developed or really …

What Happened to the New Left? Toward aRadical Reading of American Foreign Relations
For the past two decades, even before Charles Maier's now well known indictment of our field, historians of foreign relations have been wringing their hands, furrowing their brows, and anguishing over what we do and where we're headed.1 For the most part, and especially in the past few years, the often-virulent dialogue has centered on the issue of methodology as partisans of traditional, narrative history have attacked those who are adapting the…
Masters of War: Military Dissent and Politics in the Vietnam Era
Myths, Panaceas, and Perfect Strategies: Debunking the Vietnam War
As the recent debacle at the Smithsonian over its atomic bomb exhibit shows, the power of memory, myth, and propaganda is central to the accumulation and dissemination of historical knowledge in the United States. Years – indeed generations – after particular historical episodes, Americans cling to certain beliefs – FDR invited the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor; the CIA and the military conspired to do away with a dovish John Kennedy; minority …
