Historical Background on the
Vietnam War
1.
The Vietnam War: An Overview
17
Gale Encyclopedia of U.S. Economic History
Communist forces defeated the French colo¬
nial government and succeeded in partition¬
ing Vietnam in the
1950s.
Hoping to keep
South Vietnam from falling into Communist
hands, the United States deployed combat
troops to the region. After a decade of bitter
and unpopular war, the United States negoti¬
ated a withdrawal that gave the Vietnamese
Communists a victory that reunited the North
and South.
2.
Vietnam Seeks Freedom from France
Prior to the Vietnam War
25
Edgar Snow
An American journalist reports from Vietnam
about the conditions in the country follow¬
ing the end of World War II, when French
troops, with the aid of the United States and
Japan, reclaimed their former colony, denying
Vietnam democracy and sovereignty.
3.
South Vietnam
Struggles to Rebuild
After Partition
42
Economist
A British magazine reports on the economic
problems in South Vietnam following the
partition of the country that ended the First
Indo-China
War. The author contends that
U.S. aid must focus on rebuilding the country,
not just supplying the Vietnamese with con¬
sumer goods.
4.
The President of South Vietnam Appeals
to the United States for Aid Against
North Vietnam
51
Ngo Dihn Diem
In a letter, the president of South Vietnam
asks U.S. president John
R
Kennedy to aid
his government in suppressing violence
perpetrated by the North and preventing a
Communist takeover of the country.
5.
The United States Pledges to Support
South Vietnam in Its Quest to
Remain Free
58
Robert S. McNamara
The U.S. secretary of defense outlines the
importance of helping the South Vietnamese
to maintain their freedom from the
Communist North Vietnamese. He argues that
U.S. support will help spread peace and pros¬
perity throughout Southeast Asia.
6.
The People of the United States Become
Disenchanted with the War
71
Saturday Evening Post
An editorial in one of the United States
most popular magazines claims that the
lack of progress in pacifying Vietnam, the
steadfastness of the Communist enemy, and
the mounting U.S. casualties have turned
Americans and their representatives against
the war.
7.
America Will Have a Just Peace in
Vietnam
78
Richard Nixon
Facing growing protests against the continued
pursuit of the war, President Nixon declares
that most citizens
—
the silent majority
—
understand their country s duty in Vietnam
and respect his decision that the United States
will have peace with honor.
8.
The North Vietnamese Claim Victory in
Saigon
93
Van Tien Dung
A general from the North Vietnamese army
recounts the day that Communist forces from
the North marched into Saigon and liberated
the city from U.S. and South Vietnamese con¬
trol. He describes a jubilant reception as South
Vietnamese citizens greet their Northern
counterparts and U.S. forces are forced to flee.
chapter

Controversies Surrounding the
Vietnam War
1.
The United States Has a Duty to
Defend Freedom in Vietnam
104
Lyndon B. Johnson
A month after committing U.S. ground
troops to Vietnam, President Johnson claims
Americas priority is to make good on its
promise to defend freedom at home and
abroad. By securing democracy for foreign
lands beset by tyrants and Communists, the
president foresees a new world order in which
all nations will work cooperatively toward
peace.
2.
The United States Is Not Defending
Freedom in Vietnam
114
Paul Potter
The president of Students for a Democratic
Society argues that the United States is not
concerned about defending freedom in
Vietnam. Instead, he contends, the U.S. gov¬
ernment is purposefully supporting dictator¬
ship and thwarting the Vietnamese people
from determining their own destiny.
3.
The United States Is an Imperialistic
Force that Must Be Defeated
125
Ho Chi Minh
In an address to the National Assembly of
the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, North
Vietnamese president Ho Chi Minh labels the
U.S. presence in the South imperialistic and
calls on his people to remain resolute in the
fight to defeat the invader.
4.
The United States Must Stop Devastating
Vietnam and Cease Its Involvement in
Their Civil War
131
French and Japanese scientists
Around
200
French scientists and
1,300
Japanese scientists call for an end to U.S.
involvement in Vietnam. These concerned
professionals believe that the United States is
unjustly involved in what is essentially a civil
war and is destroying villages and their inhab¬
itants in a perverse attempt to stop the reuni¬
fication of a sovereign land.
5.
Television and Print Journalism
Eventually Turn Public Opinion Against
the War
137
Andrew J. Huebner
A history professor explains how U.S. news
coverage of the Vietnam War was initially sup¬
portive of intervention and portrayed combat
soldiers as professional and sincere in their
efforts to aid the Vietnamese. However, unre¬
stricted access to the battlefield showed the
grim realities of war, undermining the publics
faith in U.S. policy and the justness of the
country s moral mission.
6.
The United States Has Waged a Criminal
and Imperialistic War in Vietnam
157
Shingo Shibata
A Japanese philosopher and professor con¬
tends that U.S. intervention in Vietnam is
imperialistic and that the U.S. government has
authorized appalling war crimes in its bid to
control this foreign land.
7.
The United States Lost the Battle for
the Hearts and Minds of the
Vietnamese
167
Nguyen
Cao
Ky
The South Vietnamese prime minister from
1965
to
1967
laments the United States inabil¬
ity to truly win over the hearts and minds of
the South Vietnamese and unite them against
the North Vietnamese forces.
8.
North Vietnam Both Won and Lost the
Vietnam War
175
Tat Sung An
A historian born in South Korea writes of the
high cost paid by the North Vietnamese in
their victory over the United States, including
the huge loss of life, the destruction of land
and livestock, and the razing of cities.
9.
The Vietnam War Is a Parallel for the
War in Afghanistan
182
Thomas H. Johnson and M. Chris Mason
American political experts argue that the
numerous parallels between the Vietnam War
and the War in Afghanistan—from the nature
of the enemy to the landscape of the coun¬
tries
—
should serve as a basis for understand¬
ing the current conflict.
10.
The War in Afghanistan Is Not Like the
Vietnam War
187
David Miliband
A British politician argues that the war in
Afghanistan differs from the Vietnam War in
significant ways, including the differences in
the enemies motivation and character and
disparities between the countries historical
and political background.

Personal Narratives
1.
A North Vietnamese Man Describes His
Decision to Join the Army
194

Toai
A former second lieutenant in the North
Vietnamese
army describes how he had no
desire to join the military until a U.S. bomb

2.
A Young Man Explains His Decision to
Resist the U.S. Draft
198

A conscientious objector of the Vietnam
War gives an account of his decision to resist
the draft on the basis of his pacifism. He
also describes the legal trial, conviction, and
imprisonment that resulted from his refusal to
participate in any form of military service.
3.
An American Woman Justifies Her
Protest of the Vietnam War
204
Ethel Taylor
A woman who participated in Vietnam War
protests and visited North Vietnam during the
war tells of the convictions that drove her to
oppose what she believed to be the govern¬
ments perpetration of a needless war.

A U.S. Pilot Relates His Experiences as
