Seller's Description:
LIKE NEW in LIKE NEW jacket. 1st Edition. 6 x 0.94 x 9 inches. pp. 352. Publisher: University Press of Kentucky; Illustrated edition (June 29, 2012) Language: English HARDBOUND: 352 pages ISBN-10: 0813135788 ISBN-13: 978-0813135786 Item Weight: 1.53 POUNDS Dimensions: 6 x 0.94 x 9 inches. In the decade preceding the first U.S. combat operations in Vietnam, the Eisenhower administration sought to defeat a communist-led insurgency in neighboring Laos. Although U.S. foreign policy in the 1950s focused primarily on threats posed by the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China, the American engagement in Laos evolved from a small cold war skirmish into a superpower confrontation near the end of President Eisenhower's second term. Ultimately, the American experience in Laos foreshadowed many of the mistakes made by the United States in Vietnam in the 1960s.
