TY - GEN T1 - Perils of dominance : imbalance of power and the road to war in Vietnam A1 - Porter, Gareth, 1942- LA - English PP - Berkeley PB - University of California Press YR - 2005 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocm61167189 AB - Gareth Porter presents a new interpretation of how and why the US went to war in Vietnam. He provides a challenge to the prevailing explanation that US officials adhered blindly to a Cold War doctrine that loss of Vietnam would cause a 'domino effect' leading to communist dominance of the area.
