"Fire and Rain: Nixon, Kissinger, and the Wars in Southeast Asia" by Carolyn Woods Eisenberg is a comprehensive and well-researched study of the Nixon administration's pursuit of the Vietnam War. The book explores the paradoxes of Nixon and Kissinger's policies, including their attempt to limit the number of people involved in decision-making while other voices continued to intrude. The impact of Nixon's policies on the human level is also highlighted, including the negative consequences for the Cambodian, Vietnamese, and Lao people. While some reviewers argue that the book is derivative, it is praised for its detailed and nuanced approach to a significant subject. [Extracted from the article] |
