Many have tried to characterize the Cold War as “US vs. Communism” and the regional crisis in Southeast Asia amid the US war in Vietnam in a similarly simplistic manner.

The truth is much more complicated. I explain how communist nations fought and even invaded one another, how US “allies” were covertly undermined by the US itself, and a tangled web of chaos similar to America’s current involvement in the Middle East unfolded.
