{"product_id":"a-time-for-peace-robert-d-schulzinger-9780195365924","title":"A Time for Peace: The Legacy of the Vietnam War","description":"The Vietnam War left wounds that have taken three decades to heal--indeed some scars remain even today. In \u003cem\u003eA Time for Peace\u003c\/em\u003e, prominent American historian Robert D. Schulzinger sheds light on how deeply etched memories of this devastating conflict have altered America's political, social, and cultural landscape. Schulzinger examines the impact of the war from many angles. He traces the long, twisted, and painful path of reconciliation with Vietnam, the heated controversy over soldiers who were missing in action, the influx of over a million Vietnam refugees into the US, and the plight of Vietnam veterans, many of whom returned home alienated, unhappy, and unappreciated. Schulzinger looks at how the controversies of the war have continued to be fought in books and films and, perhaps most important, he explores the power of the Vietnam metaphor on foreign policy, particularly in Central America, Somalia, the Gulf War, and the war in Iraq. Using a vast array of sources, \u003cem\u003eA Time for Peace\u003c\/em\u003e provides an illuminating account of a war that still looms large in the American imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert D.
