Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 456 pages. Timothy Lomperis persuasively argues the ironic po int that the lessons of American involvement in Vietnam are not t o be found in any analysis of the war by itself. Rather, he propo ses a comparison of the Vietnam experience with seven other cases of Western intervention in communist insurgencies during the Col d War era: China, Indochina, Greece, the Philippines, Malaya, Cam bodia, and Laos. Lomperis maintains that popular insurgencies a re manifestations of crises in political legitimacy, which occur as a result of the societal stresses caused by modernization. The refore, he argues, any intervention in a 'people's war' will succ eed or fail depending on how it affects this crisis. The unifying theme in the cases Lomperis discusses is the power of land refor m and electoral democracy to cement political legitimacy and ther efore deflect revolutionary movements. Applying this theory to th e ongoing Sendero Luminoso insurgency in Peru, Lomperis makes a q ualified prediction of that conflict's outcome. He concludes that a global trend toward democratization has produced a new era of 'people's rule.' Editorial Reviews From Library Journal In his third work on the Vietnam War (after The War Everyone Lost?And Wo n, LJ 1/84, and Reading the Wind, Duke Univ., 1986), Lomperis, a former army intelligence officer in Vietnam and currently an inst ructor in political science at West Point, places the war within the broader context of Communist insurgency against Western-suppo rted regimes throughout the Cold War. Lomperis examines and compa res the Chinese liberation struggle; civil wars in Greece, Cambod ia, and Laos; rebellion in the Philippines; and the carnage in Pe ru so that the sophisticated reader can see the similarities and differences among these conflicts and the pivotal roles played by insurgents, local governments, and foreign powers. Each insurrec tion is well documented with conclusions buttressed by Lomperis's obvious expertise in his field. Marred only by a tendency to lap se into technical jargon, his work belongs in academic libraries, but only public libraries with strong Vietnam collections should consider adding a scholarly work such as this.?John R.
