In Korea and Vietnam, the U.S. fought to show the world that it would stand up to the evils of communism; that it could be counted on (with money, advisors, or even a major military effort if necessary) to halt the advance of communism. But in both wars, the U.S. showed itself to be militarily vulnerable. The Gulf War-against tyranny, not communism-restored the U.S. to its position of prominence in the world, reaffirming its role as a world leader and a defender of freedom.
Politics and Diplomacy in Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War

Publication Date: 30/09/1996
Focusing primarily on politics and foreign policy, America at War Since 1945 analyzes America's involvement in three wars since the end of World War II: Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War. The main questions asked are: How did the U.S. become involved in these wars? How were the wars conducted? And how did the U.S. get out of these wars?
