"The book is a masterpiece of research that is carefully footnoted... The book presents information that filled gaps in my education..." - Henry Zeybel, The VVA Veteran (June 2016) "Johannes Kadura's book is a welcome addition to the literature on the United States' tortuous exit from Vietnam. Meticulously researched and engagingly written, it provides a fresh look at and perceptive analysis of the last stages of America's longest war."-Jussi M. Hanhimaki, Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, Switzerland, author of The Rise and Fall of Detente: American Foreign Policy and the Transformation of the Cold War "In The War after the War, Johannes Kadura draws on excellent research at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and the Gerald Ford Presidential Library to fill in a gap in our knowledge of the policy and goals regarding the Paris Peace Agreement. In so doing, he forges a synthesis between orthodox and revisionist interpretations of the period between 1973 and 1976. Kadura's argument that Nixon and Kissinger followed a twofold strategy is made all the more persuasive because he includes Cambodia and Laos in his analysis along with Vietnam. He notably provides a convincing explanation of how Kissinger, in particular, used the concept of a decent interval"-David F. Schmitz, Robert Allen Skotheim Chair of History at Whitman College, author of Richard Nixon and the Vietnam War
