Neglected by scholars and journalists alike, the years
of conflict in Vietnam from 1968 to 1975 offer surprises not
only about how the war was fought, but about what was
achieved. Drawing from thousands of hours of previously
unavailable (and still classified) tape-recorded meetings
between the highest levels of the American military command
in Vietnam, A Better War is an insightful, factual, and
superbly documented history of these final years. Through
his exclusive access to authoritative materials,
award-winning historian Lewis Sorley highlights the dramatic
differences in conception, conduct, and-at least for a
time-results between the early and later years of the war.
Among his most important findings is that while the war was
being lost at the peace table and in the U.S. Congress, the
soldiers were winning on the ground. Meticulously researched
and movingly told, A Better War sheds new light on the
Vietnam War.
