　　This book c***iders the Vietnam war in light of U.S. foreign

policy in Vietnam, concluding that the wa***as a direct result of

failed state-building efforts. This U.S. nation building project

began in the mid-1950s with the ambitious goal of creating a new

independent, democratic, modern state below the 17th parallel. No

one involved imagined this effort would lead to a major and

devastating war in less than a decade. Carter ***yzes how the

United States ended up fighting a large-scale war that wrecked the

countryside, generated a flood of refugees, and brought about

catastrophic economic distorti***, results which actually further

undermined the larger U.S. goal of building a viable state. Carter

argues that, well before the Tet Offensive shocked the viewing

public in late January, 1968, the campaign in southern Vietnam had

completely failed and furthermore, the program contained the seeds

of its own failure from the outset.

　　? Clear and readable history of the period ? Presents a novel

interpretation of the causes of the Vietnam war ? Incorporates a

nuanced understanding of US foreign policy and in-depth coverage of

the war
