Assignment on Gabriel Kolko, "The War and Rural Vietnam"

Read this chapter (from Kolko's book Anatomy of a War, 1985) very carefully. Print it out. Bring it to class with you. This is very important -- we will be discussing it in detail.

Then, write 300 words (or a bit more, but not less) about the questions of land and class in the Vietnam War. How does Kolko's chapter accord with the testimony of Ralph McGehee?
