DUST JACKET: Previous Owner Markings Price Clipped; Lightly Creased; Lightly Scratched; Lightly Chipped; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SUB-TITLE: A History of How American Culture Led Us Into Vietnam and Made Us Fight the Way We Did. BOOK NUMBER: 19C3. SYNOPSIS: "War is an expression of culture. It is an expression of the way a culture thinks of itself and the world. Different cultures go to war for different reasons and fight in different ways. There is an American way of war. Our Vietnam War was started and fought in ways our culture required." Backfire is the only book to examine the myths of the American culture that led us into the Vietnam quagmire. It is as historian Henry Steele Commager says "the first full-length and scholarly account of why we got into it in the first place." It exposes our national myths: the conviction of our moral supremacy our assumption that Americans are more idealistic than other people and our faith in a technology that supposedly makes us invincible. Backfire also discusses how Vietnam has changed American culture today and how it might change our culture in the future. It explains the successes and failures of the Washington bureaucrats during the course of the war and relates these events to the current bureaucracy. It shows how the war destroyed the traditional code of honour of many of our senior military officers and what that means to our military today. Provocative. Confrontational. Healing. Backfire is the book we should have had twenty years ago. First Edition 1st Printing. Hard Cover. Good/Good. Illus. by Mike Stromberg. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. William Morrow and Company, Inc.

‎Bower Miles Tony 'Bomber' & Whittaker Mark‎

‎Bomber. From Vietnam to Hell and Back.‎

‎Sydney: Macmillan. 2009. Very Good condition. Only just a hint of corner wear. Illustrated with Colour and Black & White Photographs. Gift inscription to inside of front cover. 292 pages Tony 'Bomber' Bower-Miles was a young sapper in the Australian Army when he first went to Vietnma in 1969. Landmines were one of the biggest threats faced by troops on both sides and much of Tony's work involved the dangerous task of clearing them. He saw mates killed and horribly injured around him and this left him with a deep-rooted hatred of these deadly weapons. He returned to Australia scarred and battered and spent a lot of time suffering alcohol addiction - he could easily have been lost just another grim statistic of the Vietnam war. But in 2001 he returned to South-East Asia and established the Vietnam Veterans Mine Clearing Team an NGO with a difference and so those who once fought now help others still suffering the consequences of the conflict. .
