Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume covers the period between 1961 and the decision of the Johnson administration to escalate the conflict in February 1965. In particular, reacting against the common tendency to regard counterinsurgency as merely the prelude to a larger war, it seeks to understand the Kennedy strategy in its own terms, placing Vietnam decisions into the wider context of Kennedy's almost idealistic awareness of the growing importance of the third world. The author re-examines the well-known crises and debates of those years and attempts to plot the sequence of Hanoi's decision-making. He also places Vietnam into its regional context, paying attention to successive crises in Laos and to Indonesia's policy of 'confrontation' against the Federation of Malaysia. Whilst the notorious 'domino theory' now appears much too simplistic a formulation, it is nevertheless clear that what was happening during the 1960s was in many respects a struggle for South-East Asia which the United States could not afford to lose. '...Dr Smith's second volume maintains the high standards of scholarship and lucidity set by his first, and it is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of international relations.' David Gillard, Times Higher Education Supplement

Download or read book Southeast Asia and the Vietnam War written by Cheng Guan Ang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and explains Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore’s attitudes and policies regarding the Vietnam War. While it is generally known that all three countries supported the US war effort in Vietnam, it reveals the motivations behind the decisions of the decision makers, the twists and turns and the nuances in the attitudes of Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore following the development of the war from the 1950s through to its end in 1975. Although the principal focus is the three supposedly non-aligned countries - Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, the perspectives of Thailand and the Philippines - the two Southeast Asian countries which were formally allied with the United States - are discussed at the appropriate junctures. It makes an original contribution to the gradually growing literature on the international history of the Vietnam War and furthers our knowledge of the diplomatic history of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore in the early independent years, 1945/1949, 1957 and 1965 respectively, which coincided with early years of the Cold War in Southeast Asia.

Book excerpt: The common theme of their individual essays suggests that the war in Vietnam might have had a much different - and far less tragic - outcome if only U.S. policy makers had listened to experts familiar with Asian cultures and communist revolutionary warfare tactics and pursued a coherent counterinsurgency strategy instead of militarizing and Americanizing the struggle."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book A War Too Long written by John Schlight and published by . This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force instinctively disliked the slow, gradual way the United States prosecuted its war against the Vietnamese communists. While Americans undoubtedly delayed a communist victory in South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia long enough to spare Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries a similar fate, the American public grew very tired of this war years before its dismal conclusion. Due to questionable political policies and decision-making, only sporadic and relatively ineffective use had been made of air power's ability to bring great force to bear quickly and decisively. The United States and its Air Force experienced a decade of frustration made more painful by the losses of its personnel killed, wounded, or taken prisoner. Fighting resolutely and courageously, the Air Force played the decisive role in forcing North Vietnam to the peace table in 1973. The demands of the Vietnam War forced new developments such as laser-guided-bombs that would eventually radically transform the shape of air warfare.
