＜p＞Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this military publication explores in depth America's military involvement in East and Southeast Asia.＜/p＞
＜p＞The choice of topic for the Ninth Military History Symposium was based on the observation that comparatively little serious historical research has been done on this topic. This seems surprising, since the U.S. has fought four major conflicts in this area since the turn of the century, and has been continuously and deeply involved with Asian affairs since 1941. More often than not, the experience has been frustrating for both Americans and Asians. Consequently, lessons of the American involvement in Asian affairs have seldom been considered relevant or important, at least when compared to American preoccupation with European concerns. American scholars and military professionals have failed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the lessons that might be learned from the experience in Asia. This dearth of scholarly interest and paucity of understanding led naturally to the conclusion that American military involvement in the "Far East" would be a timely and useful symposium topic. One suspects that cultural differences and misunderstanding may partially explain the ambivalence and unwillingness of many Westerners to examine thoroughly the American experience in East Asia. Misperceptions on both sides of the Pacific have played an important role in war and peacetime relationships, and may have discouraged attempts at objective examination of many events. In order to address this problem, and to stimulate further research, a number of scholars were asked to present papers on topics normally outside the scope of the military history symposia series. It is the firm belief of those who organized this symposium that military history transcends matters of guns, battles, and commanders; sociological and cultural considerations can offer valuable aid to the military historian.＜/p＞
