Recenzii
'The return journeys to Vietnam of American and Australian war veterans raise complex questions involving memory, responsibility, and repentance. In this first-rate work of historical scholarship, Mia Martin Hobbs expertly addresses them. Perceptive, sophisticated, and engagingly written, Return to Vietnam is a book I've been waiting for years for somebody to write.' Scott Laderman, University of Minnesota, Duluth
'A thoughtful and impressive study of the varied attitudes of American and Australian Vietnam veterans towards the war, both then and now, the country and its people, and their individual places within that landscape. It will be essential reading for those interested in the aftermath of the war.' Peter Dennis, Emeritus Professor of History, The University of New South Wales Canberra
'An insightful book on the differing experiences, memories, and perspectives of American and Australian war veterans, and what Vietnam and the war symbolize. Dr Mia Martin Hobbs provides a nuanced exploration of the complexities and contradictions in the veteran accounts related.' Nathalie Huynh Chau Nguyen, Monash University
'Original, thought-provoking, and multi-dimensional, Return to Vietnam offers readers a comparative perspective on American and Australian veteran travels to Vietnam since 1975. Mia Martin Hobbs grounds this book in rich, and sometime searing, oral histories. She succeeds in achieving an impressive balance between presenting veterans' personal accounts and offering her own powerful analysis of memory, national commemoration, personal trauma, and war.' Jana K. Lipman, Tulane University
