Reviews for Looking Back on the Vietnam War: Twenty-first-Century Perspectives (War Culture)
"A collection of studies on the way the war is being remembered and commemorated … The diasporic theme is a welcome counterbalance to the US-centered canon that obscures the presence of the Vietnamese people in their own struggle for independence and all but elides them in studies of the postwar years ... Recommended."
