Reviews

It would not be an exaggeration to call this one of the soundest international histories of any aspect of the World War II/early Cold War era. - Robert McMahon, author of The Limits of Empire This is the new international history at its best, drawing on prodigious research in French, British and American primary sources and an imaginative and persuasive conceptual framework to fundamentally recast how we view this critical period in the history of the Vietnam wars and the Cold War. - Mark Bradley, author of imagining Vietnam and America
