But there is still not enough emphasis on the fact that Eisenhower started the war in that year, and how he did it and why. ( ) This is a broad survey of the war starting in 1960 through 1975. Each chapter focuses on one year and revolves around one individual who played a major role that year in the war. I found this book to be very readable and reasonably neutral in its stance on the war. This is a good both for individuals wanting a general overview of the war without being buried in detail. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Risorse esterne che parlano di questo libro Wikipedia in inglese (33)Winner of the Overseas Press Club's Cornelius J. Ryan Award for Best Nonfiction Book, the Commonwealth Club of California's Gold Medal for Nonfiction, and the PEN Center West Award for Best Research Nonfiction Twenty-five years after the end of the Vietnam War, historian and journalist A. J. Langguth delivers an authoritative account of the war based on official documents not available earlier and on new reporting from both the American and Vietnamese perspectives. In Our Vietnam, Langguth takes us inside the waffling and deceitful White Houses of Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon; documents the ineptness and corruption of our South Vietnamese allies; and recounts the bravery of soldiers on both sides of the war. With its broad sweep and keen insights, Our Vietnam brings together the kaleidoscopic events and personalities of the war into one engrossing and unforgettable narrative.
