Description
In this harsh and unsparing book, Bertrand Russell presents the
unvarnished truth about the war in Vietnam. He argues that To
understand the war, we must understand America-and, in doing so, we
must understand that racism in the United States created a climate in
which it was difficult for Americans to understand what they were doing
in Vietnam. According to Russell, it was this same racism that
provoked a barbarous, chauvinist outcry when American pilots who have
bombed hospitals, schools, dykes, and civilian centres are accused of
committing war crimes. Even today, more than forty years later, this
chauvinist moral blindness permitted John McCain to run for President
effectively unchallenged when he gloried in his exploits in bombing the
Vietnamese.
