Douglas A. Borer

Inhaltsangabe

Military
"Expertly comparing the impact of military intervention on the domestic
political legitimacy and international credibility of the superpowers, the
author helps the reader to gain a better understanding of these wars as
very similar but quite different events."
Millenium
"Borer provides a thoughtful and informative comparison, leading to a
stronger understanding, of the Vietnam and Afghan Wars"
Indochina Chronology
"challenges the widely held notion that there is great parallelism between
the two wars"
American Historical Review
"will command attention for both Cold War scholars and International
Historians"
"the first comprehensive comparative study of the Vietnam and Afghan
conflicts... it is a piece of scholarship that deserves to be read and
debated widely"
- Journal of Cold War Studies
