ANNALS OF VIETNAM

Incident at Muc Wa
Forty years on, Incident at Muc Wa gets a rave review on Curled Up With a Good Book. 'This is a superb book about the opening moments of the Vietnam War', writes Steven Rosen. 'Daniel Ford was there and he saw what was happening and he wrote about it. Eloquently. Efficiently. Stylishly'. Read the whole review here.

When not otherwise engaged, I'm a graduate student at King's College London in its 'programme' in War in the Modern World. Now that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, as the ever-optimistic pols used to say, I'm posting my academic papers online. Here's one with Vietnam interest: To what extent is the US experience in Iraq comparable to their experience in Vietnam?. That was the set question, anyhow: I've Americanized it in this publication. (The paper is also available as an e-document for Amazon's Kindle Reader.)
