“He is just about the only American leader who ever did anything right in Vietnam.…Nixon makes a strong case.” —Chicago Tribune

In his bestselling No More Vietnams, Richard Nixon analyzes America’s military involvement in Southeast Asia—including his own role as commander-in-chief from 1969 to 1974—and presciently calls for a new American approach to conflicts in the Third World.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Former president Nixon's overriding concern about the Vietnam War is mainly that we lost. While he offers admirably idealistic closing arguments here for fighting the Soviets in the Third World , he also shows a reflexive leaning toward military solutions. "Quintessential Nixon," PW stated.

Do You Have the Courage to read This!

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2017

this book reminds America what it already knew but did not wish to see! You hear in print anew the news broadcasters misrepresent the Tet offensive. you see the avenue used to distort education to achieve a pre determined output rather acknowledging our history and then determine what we want to do again and what we do not! this book allows you to remember the misinformed street demonstators and wonder why this misinformation system is still in force. You once more hear senators Albright and ted Kennedy, the brother of the president who allowed us to get there in the first place re-arrange history so that Americans will hate 50,000 young people who gave their lives while doing their job! you can smell the 3,000,000 decaying bodies in Cambodia and South Vietnam that the News organizations covered up so well! there is a great bell ringing for the demise of our democracy! can you hear it!

I recommend this book as required reading in all high schools and colleges.

Nixon, 1984

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2012

Like the man himself, this tome is a conundrum: it opens with a long list of myths about the Vietnam war, all promulgated by the Left, which Nixon demyths in the next section. The man who said in 1969 that the first order of business is to end this war! And he did, according to his plan.

There are more Americans today who look back and say, no, it was not worth the sacrifice, the effort. Even the secretary of Denfense at the time wrote, not too long ago, that, yes, it *was* a civil war *and* the "domino effect" was overblown.

Nixon adamantly defends his controversial moves, like moving into Cambodia. He says the Vietcong's supplies cam from there...and guess what? He says that the 1975 Cambodian genocide, had nothing to do with his[necessary] policy.

I've come to admire alot about RN since that time but this book does not convince me that the protests at home lengthenede the War or that the Congress voting on no oversight of the region after 1975, resulted in a "fail".

He lends some Philosophy to the mix, saying, in effect, that the cliche, you can win the battle but lose the war, is less significant that you can win the Peace but lose the war.

My take is that he was not thrilled with reagan as a President, saying that whole "star wars" thing, successful as it was, not *not* methodical; but here he credits Reagan, with [somehow] finally stopping that *real* domino effect in country after country right up until 1979!

This is a very accessible read, not only for poolside but for 2:00 am deeper analysis.

Don't let the awful colour jacket portrait throw you off: remember this is the guy who walked in the sand, steeped in thought.......in a suit and tie!!!

While I realize this book is very old, I purchased a new versus a used copy as it is a gift and wanted it to be in good condition. I am disappointed with the quality of the book. The front cover under the dust jacket has a large mark (fading?) and a scratch. The fore edge paging also has spotting. This is not the condition I would have expected from a new book.

Good read!

Whether you agree or disagree as to what kind of president Richard Nixon was, you will be impressed with his writing ability. He goes into great detail on the events that led up to our involvement in Vietnam, long before it was a household word during the sixies and early seventies.

For A better Understanding of the War

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

I first read this book in 1986, and didn't believe most of what president Nixon espoused about the Vietnam War. I was raised a Democrat and reflexively reviled Mr. Nixon. In my youth, I'd been indoctrinated by the likes of; Halberstam, Sheehan, et al. After decades of personal research, I came to understand how badly I'd been lied to by writers carrying forward their own political agendas. No More Vietnams is factually correct, and an engaging read. I recommend to anyone interested in honestly understanding the Vietnamese conflict to read; NO MORE VIETNAMS twice, then proceed with Col. Summers' ON STRATEGY, Moyars' TRIUMPH FORSAKEN, Sorley's A BETTER WAR, and Vieth's BLACK APRIL.

Beautifully written

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 29, 2016

We think of Richard Nixon in terms of Watergate, and that is no surprise. But he was also a brilliant wordsmith, and had a flow on language to challenge Thoreau or Longfellow.

His book makes a lot of sense, even after so many years.
