5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating account of the conflict from a new perspective
You won't find the information you get in "Sacred War" in many other books. Whereas most Vietnam literature concentrates on American decision-making, this book reminds us that there was another side to the Vietnam War. A very detailed account of Vietminh and Viet Cong thinking and insightful as into why we didn't win the war.
Published on December 4, 1998

3.0 out of 5 stars Meh
I had to read this book for a college class. It was better than some of the others we read, but still just kind of a so so book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative and easy to use, February 13, 2007
This review is from: Sacred War: Nationalism and Revolution In A Divided Vietnam (Paperback)
I got this book for my history class and have found it to be very informative and gives more than one point of view on the events it covers. (the only thing I find distracting is that the binding broke down right away - this happened with many other students who got their books from various places). The index is handy and the abbreviations key is helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, December 5, 2009

This review is from: Sacred War: Nationalism and Revolution In A Divided Vietnam (Paperback)
This is a great book, combine reading this book with a book or two written by Vietnam authors and you'll have a good picture of the war. Throw in "A Bright And Shining Lie" and you're damn near an expert.
