  The Koren War and The Vietnam War: People, Politics, and Power

• Published by Encyclopedia Britannica

In the 1950s and 1960s and on into the 1970s, the United States was involved in two wars fought far from home?one in aid of South Korea against the neighboring Communist North Korea, and a second waged through the jungles of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Both of these military engagements were a reaction to what the United States feared as being Communist takeovers, and were surrounded by a strong degree of political controversy. This book explores both wars in detail to help readers understand why the conflicts occurred and what their lasting effects have been.
