5.0 out of 5 stars
comprehensive and clear
This is one of the very best books on America's Vietnam experience. Unlike most books on the war it combines historical, cultural, military, and political perspectives. Moss is also clear on how the media reported the war and how myths about media bias have clouded America's understanding of the war.

Poorly written, confusing, using too many abreviations
I had to by this book for a class. I thought it would be interesting. Very contrary to my original thoughts this book has become an albatross. It is written for military people, who might have a clue what all the abbreviations are. It is very biased. The author definitely does not have a clue what how a situation might be handled other than in a military fashion...

If anyone is thinking of using this for a textbook please give your students a break and find something might actually be interesting!

This review is from: Vietnam: An American Ordeal (4th Edition) (Paperback)
Very biased. If we lost a battle it was to "elite" troops. The agent orange problem is still treated as a myth believed in by a few veterans. Nurses were given a whole page. "Many" and "some" are used to imply a majority of believe that is unargued and unsupported. PTSD got a whole paragraph, other than what was lifted unfootnoted from the DMS.
