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.…

Written by Chinese tactician Sun Tzu, the Art of War presents the basic principles of warfare and gives military leaders advice and instructions on when and how to fight. The Art of War is written in a very simple and direct manner. Sun Tzu’s work can easily be grasped and his principles understood. There is however a strong sense of morality required to achieving success with these principles. Approached in a holistic and integrated way, each principle is interlocked with the others to form a sum greater than its parts in a direct and concise…
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.…

The search for one’s identity is as poignant for the fictional character Janie as it was for former slave Frederick Douglass. Douglass used education to form an independent identity, which would separate him from the white slave masters. In contrast, Janie attempts to construct a dependent identity through marriage to each of her three husbands. With the death of her final husband Tea Cake, she plants the seeds he left behind, symbolically proving that she has grown as the seeds will grow and she is now a woman with her own identity.…

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…
