If someone had no knowledge of the Vietnam War, or the US involvement there, I have three books that I recommend to people who want to better understand the Vietnam War. This is one of those three. 

​

Make no mistake, the US lost the political battles, yet it won the war on the battlefield. In fact, I would argue, in terms of civilian casualties, that it was too efficient.

​

Woodruff explains, in detail, just how devastating it was for those Vietnamese forces fighting the war against the US and its allies. 

​

For the Record! The other two books are: 

​

A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam

Book by Neil Sheehan

​

and 

​

The End of the Line: The Siege of Khe Sanh

by Robert Pisor  

​

I will highlight these books over the next two months or sooner.
