Seller's Description:
As New in Fine jacket. Book. 10 1/4h x 7 1/2w. A real nice clean unmarked 428 page first printing (stated) hardcover Has two black & white photo sections. Phillips gives an extraordinary inside history of the most critical years of American involvement in Vietnam, from 1954 to 1968, and explains why it still matters. Describing what went right and then wrong, he argues that the United States missed an opportunity to help the South Vietnamese develop a political cause as compelling as that of the Communists by following a "big war" strategy based on World War II perceptions. This led the Americans to mistaken assumptions that they could win the war themselves and give the country back to the Vietnamese.
