The United States, Southeast Asia, and Historical Memory

The United States, Southeast Asia, and Historical Memory sheds crucial new light on the epochal US interventions in Southeast Asia after World War II. The United States came out of the Indochina wars with a tarnished reputation, as evidence of their behaviours came to light. Now - as U.S. war crimes in other countries like Afghanistan and Iraq continue to blight the country - Mark Pavlick and a group of scholars provide insight into some of the first and the worst war crimes perpetrated by the American military. Includes essays from Noam Chomsky.
