Le “syndrome du Vietnam” a été tel que le Président Bush n’a pu engager la nation américaine dans la guerre du Golfe qu’après avoir rejeté dans son discours officiel - comme pour l’exorciser - le souvenir obsédant de l’enlisement au Vietnam. Quels que soient les sentiments que l’on puisse avoir sur les fondements idéologiques des notions de leadership, de nouvel ordre international, de juste cause, la nation américaine est caractérisée par sa phobie des conflits irréductibles et ce sont bien la lassitude et la déception qui l’ont emporté dans la “crise de conscience” de l’“Amérique impériale”. Ce livre projette une image radioscopique de la mentalité et des comportements des Américains à l’époque de la contestation des années soixante.

Drawing on a wealth of new evidence from all sides, Triumph Forsaken, first published in 2007, overturns most of the historical orthodoxy on the Vietnam War. Through the analysis of international perceptions and power, it shows that South Vietnam was a vital interest of the United States. The book provides many insights into the overthrow of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963 and demonstrates that the coup negated the South Vietnamese government's tremendous, and hitherto unappreciated, military and political gains between 1954 and 1963. After Diem's assassination, President Lyndon Johnson had at his disposal several aggressive policy options that could have enabled South Vietnam to continue the war without a massive US troop infusion, but he ruled out these options because of faulty assumptions and inadequate intelligence, making such an infusion the only means of saving the country.

This book presents new perspectives on the Vietnam War, its global repercussions, and the role of this war in modern history. The volume reveals 'America's War' as an international event that reverberated all over the world: in domestic settings of numerous nation-states, combatants and non-combatants alike, as well as in transnational relations and alliance systems. The volume thereby covers a wide geographical range - from Berkeley and Berlin to Cambodia and Canberra. The essays address political, military, and diplomatic issues no less than cultural and intellectual consequences of 'Vietnam'. The authors also set the Vietnam War in comparison to other major conflicts in world history; they cover over three centuries, and develop general insights into the tragedies and trajectories of military conflicts as phenomena of modern societies in general. For the first time, 'America's War' is thus depicted as a truly global event whose origins and characteristics deserve an interdisciplinary treatment.
