Author: David Ryan and David Fitzgerald

Abstract:

In this essay the authors survey eighteen recently published books (see list of books on p. 622) to illuminate and analyze some of the dominant issues addressed in the sub-field of Vietnam-Iraq literature: lessons and analogies, unfinished wars, the rush to war, militarism, public opinion, and the media, deception, counterinsurgency, notions of victory and exit strategies, credibility, and empire.
