Recenzii
'Stur has given us a fascinating and wonderfully readable account of South Vietnam's diverse political milieu during the American war. Using Vietnamese and American sources, she illuminates the failures of nation-building in light of the complex allegiances and activities of South Vietnam's own citizens. This is an immensely valuable contribution covering an understudied period in South Vietnam's domestic political history.' Jessica Chapman, Associate Professor of History, Williams College
'In Saigon at War, Heather Stur depicts the vibrant and riotous political culture of South Vietnam's wartime capital. While Saigon had its share of corruption and dysfunction during the Vietnam War, it was also a city of students, soldiers, diplomats, religious leaders, peace activists, and communist agitprop agents In Stur's vivid account, Saigon was the place where South Vietnam's democratic aspirations rose and fell - a city in which violence and venality often collided with dreams of self-determination, liberation and peace.' Edward Miller, Associate Professor of History, Dartmouth College
'Saigon at War is an insightful study of the complexities of the South Vietnamese capital during wartime. Impressively researched, including a deep dive into Vietnamese language archival sources, Stur's book introduces Vietnamese voices into the narrative of the political war in Saigon and the war for international public opinion, voices that all too often have been left out of the story of the war. This book very effectively rights that wrong and is a worthy and needed addition to the historiography of the war.' James H. Willbanks, Professor Emeritus of Military History, US Army Command and General Staff College and author of Abandoning Vietnam and A Raid Too Far
'… Heather Stur makes an important contribution to the literature on the Vietnam War. Saigon at War is packed with interesting facts and sheds a light on a complex society, showing once again, that Vietnam is a country and not just a war.' Phi-vân Nguyen, War in History Book Reviews
