Summary of The Vietnam War: An Intimate History by Geoffrey C. Ward and Ken Burns

রেটিং ও পর্যালোচনাগুলি

As a Viet Nam veteran I found this to be one of the most informative, helpful and detailed books on this subject. The attention given to the history of how the U.S. got into the war helps to explain the hubris of the military and civilian leaders who thought this involvement would be a cakewalk. I really enjoyed the presentation of the background of the political jockeying of Vietnamese actors for control of their country. If only the US paid more attention to the French experience as detailed in the book we may not have repeated it with such a loss of lives for the US and Viet Nam.
