| Summary: | "The moving story of a small group of veterans, scientists, and pacifists who forced the U.S. government to take responsibility for the horrors inflicted on the Vietnamese with unexploded munitions and the toxic defoliant Agent Orange"-- The American war in Vietnam left many long-lasting scars that have not yet been sufficiently examined. The worst of them were inflicted in a tiny area bounded by the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh Trail in neighboring Laos. That small region saw the most intense aerial bombing campaign in history, the massive use of toxic chemicals, and the heaviest casualties on both sides. Black recounts how a small group of veterans, scientists, Quaker-inspired pacifists, and their Vietnamese partner used their moral authority, scientific and political ingenuity, and sheer persistence to attempt to heal the horrors that were left in the wake of the military engagement in Southeast Asia. Their story is one of reconciliation and personal redemption, embedded in a vivid portrait of Vietnam today: one-time mortal enemies, in the endless shape-shifting of geopolitics, have been transformed into close allies and partners. -- adapted from jacket |

Black recounts how a small group of veterans, scientists, Quaker-inspired pacifists, and their Vietnamese partner used their moral authority, scientific and political ingenuity, and sheer persistence to attempt to heal the horrors that were left in the wake of the military engagement in Southeast Asia. Their story is one of reconciliation and personal redemption, embedded in a vivid portrait of Vietnam today: one-time mortal enemies, in the endless shape-shifting of geopolitics, have been transformed into close allies and partners. -- adapted from jacket</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geschichte</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Kriegsfolge</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)7790594-5</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Landmine</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4123608-7</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Vietnamkrieg</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4063516-8</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Agent Orange</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4323876-2</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Vietnam</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4063514-4</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Agent Orange / Health aspects / Vietnam</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Agent Orange / Environmental aspects / Vietnam</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Vietnam War, 1961-1975 / Health aspects / Vietnam</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Vietnam War, 1961-1975 / Environmental aspects / Vietnam</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">War victims / Services for / Vietnam</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Unexploded ordnance / Vietnam</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Land mines / Vietnam</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">United States / Foreign relations / Vietnam</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Vietnam / Foreign relations / United States</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">HISTORY / Asia / General</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">1961-1975</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Vietnamkrieg</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4063516-8</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Vietnam</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4063514-4</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="1" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Landmine</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4123608-7</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="1" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Agent Orange</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4323876-2</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="1" ind2="3"><subfield code="a">Kriegsfolge</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)7790594-5</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="1" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Geschichte</subfield><subfield code="A">z</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Erscheint auch als</subfield><subfield code="n">Online-Ausgabe</subfield><subfield code="z">978-0-593-53411-3</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung BSB München -

The worst of them were inflicted in a tiny area bounded by the demilitarized zone between North and South Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh Trail in neighboring Laos. That small region saw the most intense aerial bombing campaign in history, the massive use of toxic chemicals, and the heaviest casualties on both sides. Black recounts how a small group of veterans, scientists, Quaker-inspired pacifists, and their Vietnamese partner used their moral authority, scientific and political ingenuity, and sheer persistence to attempt to heal the horrors that were left in the wake of the military engagement in Southeast Asia. Their story is one of reconciliation and personal redemption, embedded in a vivid portrait of Vietnam today: one-time mortal enemies, in the endless shape-shifting of geopolitics, have been transformed into close allies and partners. -- adapted from jacket Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Kriegsfolge (DE-588)7790594-5 gnd rswk-swf Landmine (DE-588)4123608-7 gnd rswk-swf Vietnamkrieg (DE-588)4063516-8 gnd rswk-swf Agent Orange (DE-588)4323876-2 gnd rswk-swf Vietnam (DE-588)4063514-4 gnd rswk-swf Agent Orange / Health aspects / Vietnam Agent Orange / Environmental aspects / Vietnam Vietnam War, 1961-1975 / Health aspects / Vietnam Vietnam War, 1961-1975 / Environmental aspects / Vietnam War victims / Services for / Vietnam Unexploded ordnance / Vietnam Land mines / Vietnam United States / Foreign relations / Vietnam Vietnam / Foreign relations / United States HISTORY / Asia / General 1961-1975 Vietnamkrieg (DE-588)4063516-8 s DE-604 Vietnam (DE-588)4063514-4 g Landmine (DE-588)4123608-7 s Agent Orange (DE-588)4323876-2 s Kriegsfolge (DE-588)7790594-5 s Geschichte z Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-0-593-53411-3 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034267575&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
