World War Two was the defining event of the twentieth century. Concentrating on the Second World War through American eyes, Donald Miller has written a fluid, fast paced and extremely interesting account of the war. In this installment of Books of Our TimeDean Lawrence R. Velvel interviews Donald Miller about his latest work The Story of World War II.Miller is a professor of history at Lafayette College.

Millers account should be of great interest to students and scholars of the war. He draws extensively on well-chosen oral interviews, book excerpts and contemporary newspaper articles.  Miller focuses on all the major campaigns: Torch in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, Anzio, Tarawa, the Philippines, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, D-Day, and air wars in both Europe and the Pacific.  This work will also be of great interest (part 1) to scholars of the war, as the interview centers around Millers historical method used in writing and researching about the war.

ised military foray into Vietnam.Mann aptly describes how American politics (and the electorate) were drawn into the delusions that characterized U.S. policy in Vietnam.  Delusions were many:  peace was nearly at hand, the domino-effect that would be triggered by a communist takeover, the actual nature of the communist threat, the bombing of North Vietnam, the strategic hamlet program, etc.  With an eye to the future, Mann writes The Vietnam War should be remembered as the kind of tragedy that can result when presidentscaptivated by their grand delusionsenforce their foreign and military policies without the informed support of Congress and the American people.

On this installment of Books of Our TimeHost Dean Lawrence R. Velvel of the Massachusetts School of Law will conduct the interview with Robert Mann. Mann is currently a professor at LSU.  The title of his book is A Grand Delusion: Americas Descent Into Vietnam.  Velvel and Mann also compare Vietnam and Iraq with an eye for similarities in the domestic political landscape.
