A landmark collection of critical political scholarship, America's Asia: Dissenting Essays on Asian-American Relations presents a bold, contrarian challenge to the dominant narratives shaping U.S. foreign policy in Asia during the Cold War era. Edited by Edward Friedman and Mark Selden, the anthology assembles some of the most incisive radical scholars of the time — including contributors such as Dower, Friedman, Peck, Gurley, Kagan, Mirsky, Gittings, Selden, and Stonefield — each arguing against the imperial assumptions embedded in American strategic thinking. Written with urgency and intellectual rigour, the essays collectively indict U.S. involvement across Asia, from Vietnam to China, illuminating the gap between official rhetoric and political reality. The volume stands as a vital document of the revisionist historiography that reshaped American academic and public discourse in the early 1970s.
