"The Vietnam War and American Culture" looks at the way American culture tries to appropriate the war. Veterans, journalists, poets, and scholars show how American culture represented and continues to represent the war on television, in newspaper accounts, in military propaganda films, and in popular films, novels, plays, and music. The book is contemporary, interpreting such recent films as the "Rambo" series and "Platoon" and such current television programmes as "China Beach" and "Tour of Duty". Contributors to this book contend that when Americans failed to sell America and American democracy to the Vietnamese, they tried to sell Vietnam to America. Beginning with an essay by Noam Chomsky and ending with five poems by W.D. Ehrhart, this collection addresses the perception of Vietman in today's American culture and how different media have shaped American attitudes toward Vietnam, its peoples, and U.S. military and political involvement in Vietnam from 1954 to the present.
