Re: H-Diplo Article Review 621 on “Provoking America: Le Duan and the Origins of the Vietnam War.” Journal of Cold War Studies 17:4
I have read Zachary Shore’s fine article, and Sean Fear’s equally good review of it. Since I am researching this period myself for a book on the war, I find myself much in agreement with the thesis. Yet there are several issues that might be amplified or added that I think will broaden our understanding of this period.
