The Commitment Challenge

The us. has been engaged in southeast asia for decades, and so im wondering, you know, d you sort of date this to a post cold war development? What's the what's the view there? The book actually takes off em right after the us withdrawal from vietnam,. and how policy makers were trying to retrench from southeast asia relative to the heightened us. Commitment period during the vetnam war. And i think those aspects are pretty continuous from this sort of a cold war period.
