The Phoenix Program was a covert operation conducted by the United States military during the Vietnam War that aimed to eliminate Viet Cong infrastructure through assassinations, torture, and forced relocation of rural populations. The program was shrouded in secrecy and deniability, with the CIA and the military working together to create a network of informants and village elders who would report on suspected communist activity. However, the program ultimately failed to achieve its goals and instead led to widespread human rights abuses and the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians. The book provides a detailed account of the Phoenix Program's development and implementation, drawing on declassified documents and interviews with key figures involved in the program. It also explores the long-lasting impact of the program on both the US and Vietnamese societies, highlighting the need for greater transparency and accountability in the use of military force. The author argues that the Phoenix Program represents a dangerous precedent for the use of terror as a weapon of war, and that it is essential for scholars and policymakers to understand the evolution of this technology in order to prevent similar atrocities from occurring in the future. He suggests that a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge can help us better understand the role of technology in warfare and the importance of accountability and transparency in military operations. The book is written in an accessible and engaging style, making it suitable for readers who may not have a background in military history or international relations. The text is well-researched and includes numerous footnotes and references to primary sources, providing a solid foundation for the author's arguments.
Программа «Феникс» (англ. The Phoenix Program) - тайная операция вооружённых сил США во время войны во Вьетнаме, целью которой было уничтожение инфраструктуры Вьетконга путём убийств, пыток и насильственного переселения сельского населения. Программа была окутана тайной и отрицаемостью, а ЦРУ и военные работали вместе, чтобы создать сеть информаторов и сельских старейшин, которые будут сообщать о предполагаемой коммунистической деятельности. Однако программа в конечном итоге не смогла достичь своих целей и вместо этого привела к широко распространенным нарушениям прав человека и гибели тысяч невинных гражданских лиц. В книге представлен подробный отчет о разработке и реализации программы «Феникс», основанный на рассекреченных документах и интервью с ключевыми фигурами, участвующими в программе. В нем также исследуется долгосрочное влияние программы как на американское, так и на вьетнамское общество, подчеркивая необходимость большей прозрачности и подотчетности при применении военной силы. Автор утверждает, что программа «Феникс» представляет собой опасный прецедент использования террора в качестве оружия войны, и что для ученых и политиков важно понять эволюцию этой технологии, чтобы предотвратить подобные злодеяния в будущем. Он предполагает, что личная парадигма восприятия технологического процесса развития современных знаний может помочь нам лучше понять роль технологий в войне и важность подотчетности и прозрачности в военных операциях. Книга написана в доступном и увлекательном стиле, что делает её подходящей для читателей, которые могут не иметь опыта в военной истории или международных отношениях. Текст хорошо исследован и включает многочисленные сноски и ссылки на первоисточники, обеспечивая прочную основу для аргументов автора.
The Phoenix Program è un'operazione segreta delle forze armate statunitensi durante la guerra in Vietnam, finalizzata a distruggere l'infrastruttura di Bankcong uccidendo, torturando e reinsediando le popolazioni rurali. Il programma è stato avvolto nel segreto e nella negatività, e la CIA e l'esercito hanno lavorato insieme per creare una rete di informatori e anziani rurali che denunceranno le presunte attività comuniste. Ma alla fine il programma non è riuscito a raggiungere i suoi obiettivi e invece ha portato a violazioni generalizzate dei diritti umani e alla morte di migliaia di civili innocenti. Il libro fornisce un resoconto dettagliato dello sviluppo e dell'implementazione del programma Phoenix basato su documenti e interviste con le figure chiave del programma. Essa esamina anche l'impatto a lungo termine del programma sulla società americana e vietnamita, sottolineando la necessità di una maggiore trasparenza e responsabilità nell'uso della forza militare. L'autore sostiene che il programma Phoenix costituisca un pericoloso precedente per l'uso del terrore come arma di guerra, e che sia importante per scienziati e politici comprendere l'evoluzione di questa tecnologia per prevenire tali atrocità in futuro. Suggerisce che il paradigma personale della percezione del processo tecnologico di sviluppo della conoscenza moderna possa aiutarci a comprendere meglio il ruolo della tecnologia nella guerra e l'importanza della responsabilità e della trasparenza nelle operazioni militari. Il libro è scritto in uno stile accessibile e affascinante, che lo rende adatto ai lettori che potrebbero non avere esperienza nella storia militare o nelle relazioni internazionali. Il testo è ben esplorato e include numerose note a piè di pagina e riferimenti alle prime fonti, fornendo una base solida per gli argomenti dell'autore.
