About this product

Product Information

Where the Domino Fell recounts the history of American involvement in Vietnam from the end of World War II to the present, clarifying the political aims, military strategy, and social and economic factors that contributed to the participants' actions. A new final chapter relates the foreign policy thinking of the Vietnam era to the decisions made that led the U.S. into the invasion of Iraq in 2003.Narrated in an accessible style by two distinguished historians, Where the Domino Fell is compact yet substantial. The bibliography, chronology, and glossary at the end make this volume is an important contribution not only to the study of the Vietnam War but to an understanding of the larger workings of American foreign policy.

Reviews
" Where the Domino Fell is a very well informed and well documented critique of U. S. policy in Vietnam. From the opening years of U.S. involvement in Indochina during the Truman administration, down to the final withdrawal in the mid-1970s, the authors have provided an in-depth and topically balanced analysis of how and why the United States became involved in Vietnam and of the strategy debates that occurred over how to win the war.... An impressive achievement." -William J. Duiker, Ho Chi Minh (2000) Sacred War: Nationalism, and Intervention, and the Lessons of Vietnam (1995)
