American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity

American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity

â‚¬Å“Few people understand the centrality of the Vietnam War to our situation as much as Christian Appy."
â‚¬"Ken Burns

The critically acclaimed author of Patriots offers profound insights into Vietnamâ‚¬s place in Americaâ‚¬s self-image.

How did the Vietnam War change the way we think of ourselves as a people and a nation? Christian G. Appy, author of the widely praised oral history of the Vietnam War Patriots, now examines the relationship between the warâ‚¬s realities and myths and its impact on our national identity, conscience, pride, shame, popular culture, and postwar foreign policy.

Drawing on a vast variety of sources from movies, songs, and novels to official documents, media coverage, and contemporary commentary, Appy offers an original interpretation of the war and its far-reaching consequences. Authoritative, insightful, sometimes surprising, and controversial, American Reckoning is a fascinating mix of political and cultural reporting that offers a completely fresh account of the meaning of the Vietnam War.
