Opis

In this introduction to the representations of the Vietnam War in American history, literature and film, Mark Taylor offers a concise, interdisciplinary approach to this most popular but complex of subjects. His aim is to show the intricate nature of crucial events in Vietnam, indicate the different ways in which historians and other writers and filmmakers have sought to make sense of them, and explore the sorts of truths which each claims to be telling - how can we know what is authentic?
