Backfire: A History of How American Culture Led Us Into Vietnam and Made Us Fight the Way We Did Brochura - 1998
por Loren Baritz
In a probing look at the myths of American culture that led us into the Vietnam quagmire, historian Loren Baritz exposes our national illusions--the conviction of our moral supremacy, our assumption that Americans are more idealistic than other people, and our faith in a technology that supposedly makes us invincible.
Primeira linha
In 1972, while worshiping in a temple near an American air base, Colonel Chuc sank into a trance and received a battle plan and a magical sword from the spirit of the Vietnamese general who defeated Kublai Khan's Mongols seven hundred years earlier.
Descrição da contracapa
In a probing look at the myths of American culture that led us into the Vietnam quagmire, Loren Baritz exposes our national illusions: the conviction of our moral supremacy, our assumption that Americans are more idealistic than other people, and our faith in a technology that supposedly makes us invincible. He also reveals how Vietnam changed American culture today, from the successes and failures of the Washington bureaucracy to the destruction of the traditional military code of honor.
