Review
“The lessons, legacies, and implications for future conflicts are the purpose of this collection of work on The American War in Vietnam This is an assemblage of ten superb papers which outline why America failed in Vietnam. . . it is a compilation of the personal views of nine authors (scholars, soldiers, and airmen) on different aspects of the war. Military readers will find the section on How the War Was Fought especially interesting in that the authors suggest that had we pursued a more exhaustive air campaign against the North early in the war, then it could have been won. I found the arguments favoring extensive strategic bombing of North Vietnam especially appealing. A deeper question might be asked concerning the U.S. not using nuclear weapons. . . the book accomplished what it set out to do, providing a solid contribution to better understanding of the war. This book is for serious students of the Vietnam War, for historians looking for a complete picture, it has a superb bibliography, and the authors have outstanding credentials.”–Armor
