A fascinating view of McNamara and LBJ planning to lose., October 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Vietnam: Strategy for a Stalemate (Hardcover)
The question of U.S. victory in Vietnam has been asked since the fall of Saigon in 1975. Yet the central aspect is not really one of military victory but what goals were attempted and were any actually achieved. Former army lieutenant colonel and West Point graduate F. Charles Parker IV discusses the strategies for winning the Vietnam war and how closely toward the U.S. Marine Corps landing at Danang did the upper levels in U.S. defense department choose to fight to a stalemate. Perhaps the most fascination revelation is how the war was to be prosecuted (in terms of the "crossover point") and at what point the war could be considered to be won (March, 1968).
