Dunkirk and the Fall of France
"For sixty years the dramatic story of the Dunkirk evacuation and the defeat of France -- the story of the German conquest of northwest Europe -- has been the focus of historical study and dispute, yet myths and misconceptions about this extraordinary event persist ... Reconstructing the campaign in graphic detail, from the capture of the Belgian fortress of Eben Emael to the French surrender, [Stewart] reconsiders the balance of the armed forces, the strategic and tactical thinking of each high command, and the state of preparedness and the morale of each army. In particular, he looks with a fresh perspective at the traditional explanations that have been put forward to explain the failure of the French ... He argues that German victory was won by effective application of classic military doctrine, and throughout he emphasizes the importance of the battlefield in shaping events"--Jacket.

Vietnam's Lost Revolution
Vietnam's Lost Revolution employs newly-released archival material from Vietnam to examine the rise and fall of the Special Commissariat for Civic Action in the First Republic of Vietnam, and in so doing reassesses the origins of the Vietnam War. A cornerstone of Ngô Đình Diệm's presidency, Civic Action was intended to transform Vietnam into a thriving, modern, independent, noncommunist Southeast Asian nation. Geoffrey Stewart juxtaposes Diem's revolutionary plan with the conflicting and competing visions of Vietnam's postcolonial future held by other indigenous groups. He shows how the government failed to gain legitimacy within the peasantry, ceding the advantage to the communist-led opposition and paving the way for the American military intervention in the mid-1960s. This book provides a richer and more nuanced analysis of the origins of the Vietnam War in which internal struggles over national identity, self-determination, and even modernity itself are central.
