The Endless War is dispassionate, deeply informed, yet touches on a crucial subject in an authoritative manner. It explains, above all, why the Vietnam War was won by the Vietnamese rather than lost by the French or Americans; it gives us a necessary understanding of the roots of revolutionary nationalism.vietnam history - 20th century, north vietnamese

A proponent of the war, Professor Liska here offers an original conceptual perspective for assessing our involvement, based on an imperial obligation for the United States to uphold world order, as distinct from the quest for colonies. His central thesis is simple: like it or not, the power and wealth of the United States force her to have world-wide interest and responsibilities.vietnamese conflict, 1961-1975 -- united states, united states -- foreign relations -- 20th century

These photographs taken by The Advocate captures the installation of the 10 metre palm tree at St. Albans Square is significant as the palm tree has become a long‑standing landscape marker that contributes to the visual identity and social character of the precinct. The tree was donated to Council by local Ardeer resident Peter Zafiropoulous. Positioned at the intersection of Main Road East and The Esplanade, it serves as a focal point within the plaza and reflects late‑20th‑century suburban design practices that used distinctive plantings to create recognisable civic landmarks. The tree has remained a constant feature through decades of commercial change, multicultural growth, and streetscape redevelopment, and continues to embody the continuity of community life in St Albans. Its survival into 2026 enhances its value as a living element of the suburb’s public‑realm heritage. St. Albans Square emerged during the period when Melbourne’s outer suburbs were building European‑style pedestrian plazas to support growing migrant communities. St. Albans, with its large Maltese, Yugoslav, Italian, Greek, and later Vietnamese population, needed: a central meeting place, a pedestrian‑friendly shopping zone, a civic space separate from traffic, somewhere for markets, gatherings, and casual socialising. The Square was built as part of the Main Road East commercial precinct, becoming the suburb’s unofficial “town centre.”These photographs are significant because they document the installation of a landmark feature that has become closely associated with St Albans Square and the identity of the local community. The 10-metre palm tree serves as a distinctive visual marker within the town centre, helping to define the character and appearance of the precinct for residents and visitors alike.6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPG 6816.01 - St. Albans Square Palm Tree Installation 1991 Photographs (Advocate 284.2).JPGst. albans square, main road east, the esplanade, st. albans
