Embedded in a push and pull between two different parties, the citizens and peasants of South Vietnam found themselves left with a choice: stand and defend their own government, or join the revolutionary movement of the Vietcong. Although both sides claim that they were winning the war and fighting for the people, speculation has to be cast on which one really was. In Jeffery Race’s book, War Comes to Long An, Race makes an argument for the Vietcong that is hard to refuse.…

While many scholars attempted to theorize war in human history, only few were credited for constructing consistent theories on which people could base and further their understanding of war and warfare. Those include Greek Thucydides, Chinese Sun Tzu, and Indian Kautilya all three from 3-4th century BC; Prussian Carl von Clausewitz and Swiss Antoine-Henry Jomini both from 19th century. All of those prominent theorist had a lot to offer and therefore had great influence on our thinking in war, warfare, and strategy. However, Clausewitz’s theory offers more insight if one carefully and purposely studied the “paradoxical trinity” identified in his…

The photo The Terrors of War by Nick Ut demonstrates his experience as a Vietnamese-American photographer by showing children screaming in pain from napalm followed by undisturbed soldiers in the face of a bombing. Ut is a photojournalist for the Associated Press whose projects include extensive documentation of the the Vietnam war in South Vietnam. This photo emotionally appeals to the viewer by depicting a naked girl screaming in pain from the war. The girl is surrounded by other screaming children and nonchalant soldiers walking over a desolate, smokey wasteland, showing the destruction caused by war. Ut’s photo serves as anti-war propaganda by showing how war affects the powerless Vietnamese that are killed by the horrors of war every single day.…
Steven Pressfield has a colorful background. I believe that’s why I’m drawn to him and his book, The WAR of ART. He has worked as an advertising copywriter, schoolteacher, tractor-trailer driver, bartender, oilfield roustabout [I like that word, roustabout, reminds me of Elvis], attendant in a mental hospital, fruit-picker in Washington State, author and screenwriter.…

There are numerous books on warfare but not many that have been relevant for two and a half thousand years. Sun Tzu was a general in the Kingdom of Wu in China around 490BC. His text was translated from Chinese to French in 1782 and it has been suggested that it was the key to Napoleon's success. It was only when he failed to follow all of the rules set down by Sun Tzu that he was defeated.…

The book is organized into eight chapters, which all can theoretically stand alone. This shows that there are so many different aspects of war that can be discussed almost entirely separately from each other. This helps prove his thesis that warfare is important when it comes to societal change and that so many aspects of society were maintained through military force. Each chapter covers a specific aspect. For example, chapter four is called “Status Creation, Social Mobility, and War” while chapter seven is titled “Law and the Legitimation of Judicial Violence”. This shows the variation in topics the author discusses in order to prove his point. Although the chapters can stand alone, they relate to each other in many ways. Often, Conlan mentions the same aspects of war in multiple chapters which provides the reader with a holistic view of 14th century Japan. By doing this, Conlan effectively proves his points about how intertwined society was with the…
