George C. Herrings Americas Longest War :
US involvement in the Vietnam Conflict occurred for a
number of reasons that were more complex than simply the
desire of the United States to prevent the spread of
communism. In his work Americas Longest War, Herring
reflects on a number of common war theories to explain US
involvement and to define the essence of the action taken.
Herring also demonstrates the underpinnings of the war itself
and the nature of the perspectives, both national and
international, that sustained the conflict and US involvement
for so long. This 5 page paper considers the elements of
Herrings discourse, while also providing a view of the war
itself and defining the underpinnings that supported its
longevity. No additional sources cited. Gherring.wps

Vietnam War / My Lai Massacre -- Book Review : A 6
page
paper focusing upon Michael Bilton and Kevin Sim's "Four
Hours In My Lai" -- a book documenting one of the
American military's darkest wartime activities ever-- the rape,
torture, and murder of thousands of innocent Vietnamese
civilians within a one-day period. The writer attempts to
evaluate the book's thesis: that is ironic how My Lai seems to
be almost forgotten in today's media accounts and historical
reflections upon the Vietnam war. It is almost as if the
government wants us to forget how barbarically the U.S.
military acted ! The horror of this particular incident is
described in somewhat graphic detail. Bibliography lists 3

My Lai / Massacre, Tragedy, Incident : A 16 page
paper
which illustrates the massacre known as the My Lai Massacre
which occurred in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It was
an occurrence which was initially called a massacre, then a
tragedy and finally nothing more than a typical incident that
occurred during a time of war. It was a useless invasion of a
small hamlet in Vietnam where there were no enemies
present. The soldiers, known primarily as Charlie Company,
essentially went mad and performed what some have called
Nazi acts. It was an incredibly horrible event and was, by far,
the worst reality of the Vietnam War. Bibliography lists 6
