The Cambridge History of the Vietnam War
In great depth, Volume II examines the escalation of the Vietnam War and its development into a violent stalemate, beginning with the overthrow of the Ngô Đình Diệm in 1963 to the aftermath of the 1968 Tết Offensive. This five-year period was, for the most part, the fulcrum of a three-decades-long struggle to determine the future of Vietnam and was marked by rival spirals of escalation generated by the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Unite…

David Biggs. Footprints of War: Militarized Landscapes in Vietnam
Among the most useful approaches to the study of the Vietnam War is to trace events in one relatively small area. It need not be and indeed cannot be a typical area; there was no typical area. Footprints of War: Militarized Landscapes in Vietnam focuses mainly on Thừa Thiên-Huế (Thua Thien), second to the northernmost of the provinces that from 1954 to 1975 made up South Vietnam. Within that province, David Biggs looks particularly at the area ar…
My Lai: Vietnam, 1968, and the Descent into Darkness, by Howard Jones
Howard Jones’s book describes one of the most horrifying episodes of the Vietnam War. On 16 March 1968, two US Army infantry companies swept through a group of hamlets, of which My Lai 4 became the most famous, in Quang Ngai province of South Vietnam. They were under-strength because they had been suffering casualties from mines, booby traps and snipers. They were told they were about to get revenge for their losses, fighting an important enemy u…
The Rise and Fall of an Officer Corps: The Republic of China Military, 1942-1955
For much of its history, the Army of the Republic of China was a heavily politicized force that was controlled by the Kuomintang (Nationalist party) and served to bolster the party's power. But many of its officers wanted to create a more professionalized force, led by a well-trained and apolitical officer corps and responsible to a national government rather than to a party. During some periods American advisers were also encouraging such an age…
Why South Vietnam Fell
Why South Vietnam Fell attributes the outcome of the Vietnam War to a wide range of factors, including generous foreign support for the Communist forces in Vietnam; inadequate U.S. support for the Republic of Vietnam (RVN); a deficient fundamental strategy of attempting to defend the borders that had been established for South Vietnam in 1954; the U.S. decision to encourage a military coup against RVN President Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963; gross irresp…

Modern China
The past hundred years in China have seen almost continuous transformation and upheaval. From Confucianist monarchy to warlordism, from fanatically doctrinaire socialist tyranny to almost doctrineless social-capitalism, China has experienced political, cultural and economic disintegration, reunion, and revolution on an unprecedented scale. Beginning with the overthrow of the Emperor in 1911, Moise guides us through a century of ever-unfolding dra…

U.S. Conduct in the Vietnam War: Commentaries on Bernd Greiner's War without Fronts
Three leading experts on the Vietnam War and U.S. foreign policy offer separate evaluations of Bernd Greiner's book War without Fronts: The USA in Vietnam. The book presents a harsh and controversial appraisal of the conduct of U.S. troops in Vietnam, depicting the My Lai massacre not as an aberration but as one of a long series of atrocities committed by U.S. personnel. The three commentators diverge in their assessments of the book. Andrew Bace…

The moral economy dispute
The publication of The Rational Peasant by Samuel Popkin has revived an old argument over whether the impact of the modern world benefits or harms peasant societies. As a “political economist,” Popkin devotes his first two chapters to a debate against the “moral economists,” whom he sees as exaggerating the virtues of the past and setting too low a value on modernization and the market economy. Unfortunately, he has misrepresented the position of…
Vietnamese Tradition on Trial, 1920-1945
Downward Social Mobility in Pre-Revolutionary China
Most analyses of social mobility in traditional China have concentrated on the gentry-the people who had obtained degrees in the Confucian examination system. For one thing, these were the most influential people in the society. For another, it is possible to define them rather precisely; a man either had a degree or he did not. Still, the gentry formed less than 1% of the population. The overwhelming majority of the Chinese people were not membe…
Land Reform and Land Reform Errors in North Vietnam
T HE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC of Vietnam (DRV) carried out a large land reform campaign between 1953 and 1956.* On the surface it was a program to abolish landlordism and place the land in the hands of peasant smallholders, paving the way for a later transition to cooperative farming. Considered simply in this light, the land reform was quite successful. In fact, however, it had been a struggle not only for economic, but also for political power in th…
