New Zealand and the Vietnam War

"Starting with the first Indochina War in the 1950s, this historical analysis covers the full story of New Zealand's relations with Vietnam up to the end of the Vietnam War in the 1970s. It explores the diplomatic history of the engagement, which is not well known or understood, and shows that officials and politicians in fact entered the war with extreme reluctance. Running parallel with this is an account of the passionate domestic politics provoked by the war which has had such a long-term effect on New Zealand's foreign policy. Roberto Rabel's thorough and balanced study of these dramatic times is a thought-provoking book."--Jacket.
