Title: Vietnam in Iraq
Description: More than most post-1970 conflicts involving US forces, the conflict in Iraq has been fought against a background of frequently invoked memories from the era of the Vietnam War. The essays in this book offer a series of perspectives on connections and parallels between the Vietnam War and the 2003 invasion of, and current conflict in, Iraq. In particular, the volume examines the impact of the Vietnam analogy on the war in Iraq, assesses, the military tactical lessons learned from the Vietnam War and explores the influence and persistence of its legacy in US politics, culture and diplomacy.
