Universe Unraveling
ISBN: 9780801445477 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, Laos was positioned to become a major front in the Cold War. Yet American policymakers ultimately chose to resist communism in neighboring South Vietnam instead. Two generations of historians have explained this decision by citing logistical considerations. Laos's landlocked, mountainous terrain, they hold, made the kingdom an unpropitious place to fight, while South Vietnam possessing a long coastline, navigable rivers, and all-weather roads better accommodated America's military forces. The Universe Unraveling is a provocative... During the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, Laos was positioned to become a major front in the Cold War. Yet American policymakers ultimatel... |

Cold War Mandarin: Ngo Dinh Diem and the Origins of America's War in Vietnam, 1950-1963
ISBN: 9780742544482 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For almost a decade, the tyrannical Ngo Dinh Diem governed South Vietnam as a one-party police state while the U.S. financed his tyranny. In this new book, Seth Jacobs traces the history of American support for Diem from his first appearance in Washington as a penniless expatriate in 1950 to his murder by South Vietnamese soldiers on the outskirts of Saigon in 1963.

America's Miracle Man in Vietnam: Ngo Dinh Diem, Religion, Race, and U.S. Intervention in Southeast Asia
ISBN: 9780822334408 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "America's Miracle Man in Vietnam" rethinks the motivations behind one of the most ruinous foreign-policy decisions of the postwar era: America's commitment to preserve an independent South Vietnam under the premiership of Ngo Dinh Diem. The so-called Diem experiment is usually ascribed to U.S. anticommunism and an absence of other candidates for South Vietnam's highest office. Challenging those explanations, Seth Jacobs utilizes religion and race as categories of analysis to argue that the alliance with Diem cannot be understood apart from America's mid-century religious revival and...
