This book deals with the wide range of issues facing the post-Vietnam history of the United States as follows: the ultimate meanings of the Vietnam War to America and Vietnam: the war's impact on America's national psyche, on US popular culture and academia; its residual effect with respect to veterans and emigres; 'revisionist' historicism; needs to rectify some inaccurate myths surrounding the war and Vietnam veterans; the postwar healing process in America; postwar attitudes to the Vietnamese people toward the war and the American people; the MIA issue; and the process of Wasington-Hanoi rapprochement.The purpose of the book is not to refight the highly controversial Vietnam War but to express a genuine and strong desire to heal America's psychic wounds.
