Turner, Robert Foster
Abstract
University of Virginia School of Law professor, Dr. Robert Turner, discusses the United States involvement in Vietnam in the geopolitical context of international communist movements, Vietnamese nationalism, French colonialism in Indochina and anti-imperialism. He believes the Vietnam War was a struggle for freedom akin to the American Revolution, World War I, World War II, the Korean War and Operation Desert Storm, and laments the 1973 Congressional bill that cut off aid to the South Vietnamese government for combat operations.
