About the Book
This book sheds crucial new light on the epochal U.S. interventions in Southeast Asia after World War II. Antiwar activist Fred Branfman describes the tragic lives of Laotian farmers under U.S. bombing. Cambodia scholar Ben Kiernan and colleague Owen Taylor illuminate the course of Cambodian history after unprecedented U.S. bombing. The book also includes classic works by Noam Chomsky, Nick Turse, and Edward Herman.
Why we recommend it: Short, digestible essays by experts like Noam Chomsky and Fred Branfman that explore the all-too-human effects of the bombings on Southeast Asia. Excellent academic resource.
