944 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Soon after the end of the Vietman War, memories of loss still fresh, top military leaders of defeated South Vietnam recorded their observations in a series of publications sponsored by the U.S. Center of Military History. Insightful and poignant, unaltered and unedited by the CMH, their distinctive stories are little known and long out of print. Veteran historian Lewis Sorley has gathered, edited, and arranged these sixteen monographs for ease of reference and access, providing valuable glossary, biographies of the generals, and index. Augmented with Sorley's introduction and glosses, along with maps and contemporary photographs, The Vietnam War brings the South Vietnamese military experience into sharper perspective, at last available for wider use and appreciation.
