Abstract
The Vietnam Syndrome (Chapter 1) had both psychiatric impact (trauma, emotional paralysis, loss of confidence, amnesia) and practical consequence (lesson learning) for the United States. It influenced subsequent attitudes both to the military option and to non-military methods that might be exploited to slake America’s persistent thirst for global power.
