Zusammenfassung

The American experience in the Vietnam War has been the subject of a vast body of scholarly work, yet surprisingly little has been written about how the war is remembered by Vietnamese themselves. This title fills this gap in the literature by addressing the subject of history, memory, and commemoration of the Vietnam War in Vietnam.
