In Vietnam

We severely underestimated the people of North and South Vietnam. We Americans can’t fight and win in these 3rd world, tribalistic countries. This book reassured me how Vietnams society of corruption kept us from beating NLF. Now we’re involved in Afganastan and leaving with the same results as Vietnam how crazy is that. Good factual book.

Great book for anyone who interested in why America was involved in Vietnam.

Writen in a simple manner, clear and to the point. Though it is a bit thin on certain details, for example, the Importance of the american people not supporting the sacrifice made by the young soldiers which were drawn into that quagmire which was not their fault, is left a bit understated.
Society can not support a war for any number of reasons. But to blame the grunts while sitting in front of the tv sets is cruel.
Otherwise, is a good book to those who are still trying to understand the Viet Nam experience, if that could ever be understood.
