Reviews

<i>Looking Back on the Vietnam War</i> is haunting in its unflinching critique and intervention to denaturalize warfare and disentangle its afterlife. It is most sublime in rupturing once conventional narratives. --Linda Trinh Vo University of California, Irvine

Looking Back on the Vietnam War is haunting in its unflinching critique and intervention to denaturalize warfare and disentangle its afterlife. It is most sublime in rupturing once conventional narratives.

It is a crucial and timely moment to revisit the meanings of the Vietnam War. This book is a hugely valuable reassessment of the war's legacies and cultural impact. --Marita Sturken author of Tangled Memories: The Vietnam War, the AIDS Epidemic, and the Politics
