Description

Following the U.S. invasion of Iraq, some scholars began to draw comparisons to U.S. involvement in Vietnam, re-igniting the debate over the Vietnam War. In the following chapters the cartoonists in this volume present their views on the Vietnam War as it unfolded: Taking Steps Toward War, Going to War: The Johnson Years, The Long Road to Peace: The Nixon Years, and The Legacy of the Vietnam War.
