La storiografia della Guerra del Vietnam: un aggiornamento sulle traduzioni italiane

This essay presents an overview of the historiographical works on the Vietnam War translated into Italian, arguing that prejudices against military history have influenced the editorial decisions of Italian publishers. However, other historiographical areas have also been insufficiently covered in Italy such as oral histories, the Vietnam War and American politics, and the question of the veterans, leaving too much space to Hollywood blockbusters. In recent years, one can detect a new interest in the Vietnamese perspective on the war, to whichthe following essay by Giacomo Traina is devoted.
