REVIEWS:

“This book has been long needed: a concise, complete and dispassionate survey of the Vietnam War.... Best of all, the no-nonsense approach answers questions as soon as they arise in the reader's mind.”

Kliatt

“If there is such a thing as an objective account of the Vietnam War, this is it.... If you want to read one book about Vietnam, read this one.”
