A new end chapter offers previously unpublished scholarship on the conflict.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"I've gotten more out of re-reading War Comes to Long An . . . than just about anything other than Robert Warburton's classic memoir, Eighteen Years in the Khyber, 1879-98 (1900)."-- "The American Interest" (7/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"The work's success in bringing clarity to its analysis of that attack owes much to its long neglected social science, to Jeffrey Race."-- "New Mandala; Thailand-Laos-Cambodia Group" (4/30/2011 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Timeless."-- "Asia Times" (10/23/2010 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jeffrey Race</b>, living in Asia since 1965, is a retired American military officer, a consultant to private firms and public bodies, and volunteer with many international charities.
