"It takes one hour to read twenty pages, but the author brings in so much information that you don't feel like you'll never understand this subject. I felt smarter and more aware, and then I started to forget what I read after a week or two. This may be my problem."
"LaFeber approaches the Cold War as an economic battle between the Soviet Union and the West. Of particular importance is his analysis of the Vietnam War, where he attributes the U.S. aim at controlling the region as an attempt to create a market for Japanese goods, ultimately allowing the Japanese to purchase American goods."
