"Superbly done. [Lewy has] established a new standard for objective scholarship on Vietnam."--James L. Jablonowski, Marquette University

"An intellectually balanced work that should be the touchstone for future analyses of our Vietnam experience."--Washington Post

"[A] balanced account which corrects many of the myths that were perpetuated during the Vietnam conflict."--Claude R. Sasso, Avila College
