Mediocre
I was let down by this book which I purchased thinking that it will contain new information and unpublished photographs. Neither is true: the text is very poor in hard data, the chapters are too short, the maps average and most of the photographs have been published many times over the years.

Neither is true: the text is very poor in hard data, the chapters are too short, the maps average and most of the photographs have been published many times over the years. The serious student of the Vietnam War should better spent his or her money in the old but excellent multi-volume series of Boston Publishing "The Vietnam Experience" to get a wealth of photos and the analysis also. As far as the strategy of Vietnam War is concerned, Palmer's "Summon of the Trumpets" is unsurpassed.

This book hits the nail on the head. The information in this book really shows what an awful blot on US history the Vietnam War really was.
