Beschreibung:
Edwin A. Martini is associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Western Michigan University and author of Invisible Enemies: The American War on Vietnam, 1975-2000 (University of Massachusetts Press, 2007).
Examines the far-reaching impact of Agent Orange, the most infamous of the dioxin-contaminated herbicides used by American forces in Southeast Asia. Edwin A. Martini's aim is not simply to reconstruct the history of the 'chemical war' but to investigate the ongoing controversy over the short- and long-term effects of weaponized defoliants on the environment of Vietnam, on the civilian population, and on the troops who fought on both sides.
