January 1961: Laos, a tiny nation few Americans have heard of, is at risk of falling to communism and triggering a domino effect throughout Southeast Asia. This is what President Eisenhower believed when he approved the CIAs Operation Momentum, creating an army of ethnic Hmong to fight communist forces in Laos on Americas behalf. Largely hidden from the American publicand most of CongressMomentum became the largest CIA paramilitary operation in the history of the United States, a war that lasted through two decades, left the ground littered with thousands of unexploded bombs, and changed American foreign policy forever. In A Great Place to Have a War, Joshua Kurlantzick provides the definitive account of the Laos war, focusing on the four key people who led the operation: the CIA operative whose idea it was, the Hmong general who led the proxy army in the field, the paramilitary specialist who trained the Hmong forces, and the State Department careerist who took control over the war as it grew. Using recently declassified records and extensive interviews, Kurlantzick shows for the first time how the CIAS clandestine adventures in one small, Southeast Asian country became the template for how the United States has conducted war ever sinceall the way to todays war on terrorism. Shipped in a well-padded box. N° de ref. del artículo 002317
