Vietnam's American War A History

Pierre Asselin

University of Kentucky

San Diego State University

This book surveys the Vietnamese communist experience during the Vietnam War (1954–75) with a focus on high-level decision-making. Written in an accessible, narrative style geared toward non-experts, the book presents a history of Vietnamese communist strategy, decision-making, and policies, including key battle plans • Presents the most comprehensive history of the Vietnamese experience in the Vietnamese War to date - most treatments focus on American experience • Maps, timelines, glossaries, and illustrations illuminate the fine details of the war in an accessible manner • The author's immersion in Vietnamese-language sources ensures that Vietnamese perspectives are featured throughout

"Finally a concise, penetrating, and insightful account of the Vietnam War as seen from the other side. Relying on a wealth of new Vietnamese sources, Pierre Asselin does what few have ever achieved: he has provided a highly readable general history of communist Vietnam's 'American War'." Christopher Goscha,

Université du Québec à Montréal

"Professor Asselin expertly and straightforwardly relates the Vietnamese communist experience - and the reasons the war turned out the way it did. Offering a unique and impressively informed and informative perspective, Vietnam's American War: A History is an extraordinary study of exceptional scholarship and unreservedly recommended for both community and academic library Vietnam War collections and supplemental studies lists."

Andrew Ede University of Alberta

Technology and Society: A World History explores the creative power of humanity from the age of stone tools to the digital revolution. It introduces technology as a series of systems that allowed us to solve real-world problems and create a global civilization. The history of technology is also the history of the intellectual and cultural place of our tools and devices. With a broad view of technology, we can see that some of the most powerful technologies such as education and government produce no physical object but have allowed us to coordinate our inventive skills and pass knowledge through the ages. Yet although all human communities depend on technology, there are unexpected consequences from the use of technology which, as Ede shows, form a crucial part of this rich story. UNIQUE SALES POINTS • Technology is presented as a system, not as a series of objects • Readers gain an appreciation of the historical importance of both intellectual ability and community action • Integrates discussion of a range of philosophical and historiographical positions with common historical conditions of change
