Beschreibung:
nation. Analyzing how and why the US campaign in South Vietnam failed, this volume sheds new light on the broader US programme of assistance to 'free world' internal security forces during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. Today, as the United States and its allies confront insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the global threat posed by al-Qa'ida, the challenge of building foreign internal security forces, and the demands of 'nation-building', have again become urgent priorities. The US experience in Vietnam serves as a cautionary tale and highlights the perils of imposing American notions about public order. This book will be of much interest to students of US foreign policy, Intelligence Studies, Cold War studies, the Vietnam War and Security Studies in general.
