In her lively, grounded, and altogether compelling ethnography, Christina Schwenkel offers readers a rich anthropological examination of representation and memory on the US war in Vietnam. Within a field of inquiry unduly dominated by American perspectives, at least in the English-language accounts, this book promises to unhinge some of those value-laden premises that create certain notions of war memory.
