Product Description

Product Description
Part of a series which introduces and explains the contributory factors which led to some of the most significant events of the 20th century, and the effect of those events on the world. Using contemporary writings, quotations from speeches, and illustrations, the books present a dramatic study, showing that errors in world leadership, misfortune and mismanagement have brought the world to the brink of catastrophe many times in this century. The event is described in detail, followed by an analysis of the ways in which it changed the world. The War in Vietnam, fought between the Communist North, supported by China and the USSR, and the non-Communist South, supported by the United States, is considered to illustrate the futility of Cold-War politics better than any other event in recent history. This book examines Vietnam, the country and its people, and their relationship with the rest of south-east Asia and the West, to discover the root causes of the war. It follows the bloody course of the war itself, and then examines its consequences, both on the United States and its allies and on the countries of south-east Asia.
