Chapter 1 in Vietnam: Peasant Land, Peasant Revolution, 1988, pp 1-25 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Volumes have been written about the American intervention in Vietnam and mistakes Americans made there. Journalists have written in great detail about the dependence of the Saigon government and its corruption. We have vivid pictures of the moral degradation accompanying US intervention — the drugs, prostitution and atrocities. Millions of Americans were awakened to the realities of what US intervention in other countries means. Our sources told us much about the USA and its political system but little about Vietnam, so that our picture of Vietnam and the Vietnamese is still clouded.
