Vietnam : The History Of An Unwinnable War, 1945-1975

  • Vietnam : The History Of An Unwinnable War, 1945-1975

  • Attribution

    John Prados

  • Publication Details

    Book, University Press of Kansas, 2009

  • Description

    Prados patiently pieces back together the events and moments, from the end of World War II until our dispiriting departure from Vietnam in 1975, that reveal a war that now appears to have been truly unwinnable–due to opportunities lost, missed, ignored, or refused. By turns engaging narrative history, compelling analytic treatise, and moving personal account, Prados’s magnum opus challenges previous authors and should rightfully take its place as the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and accurate one-volume account of a war that–judging by the frequent analogies to the current war in Iraq–has not yet really ended for any of us.

Rebels All! : A Short History Of The Conservative Mind In Postwar America

  • Rebels All! : A Short History Of The Conservative Mind In Postwar America

  • Attribution

    Kevin Mattson

  • Publication Details

    Book, Rutgers University Press, 2008

  • Description

    Do you ever wonder why conservative pundits drop the word “faggot” or talk about killing and then Christianizing Muslims abroad? He boldly compares the conservative intellectual movement to the radical utopians among the New Left of the 1960s and he explains how conservatism has ingested central features of American culture, including a distrust of sophistication and intellectualism and a love of popular culture, sensation, shock, and celebrity.

They Knew They Were Right : The Rise Of The Neocons

  • They Knew They Were Right : The Rise Of The Neocons

  • Attribution

    Jacob Heilbrunn

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Doubleday, 2008

  • Links

  • Description

    The neocons have become at once the most feared and reviled intellectual movement in American history. How did an obscure band of policy intellectuals, left for dead in the 1990s, suddenly rise to influence the Bush administration and revolutionize American foreign policy? Jacob Heilbrunn wittily and pungently depicts the government officials, pundits, and think-tank denizens who make up this controversial movement, bringing them to life against a background rich in historical detail and political insight. Decisively shaped by the immigrant exerience and the trauma of the Holocaust, they rose from the margins of political life to become an insurgent counter-establishment that challenged the old WASP foreign policy elite. Far from being chastened by the Iraq debacle, the neocons continue to guide foreign policy. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
