Better Understanding Iraq

The revised copy of Karnow's classic is a historical masterpiece. While tedious at times, this work gives one of the best insights into the nuances of power in the 20th century. Everyone lost in Viet Nam and our government thought we had learned the lesson. We didn't as one can see by reading this in parallel with some of the recent works on the politics underlying Iraq. No student of history should miss the lessons of our time as outlined by Karnow and his interviews with most of the major influences of this turbulent time.

The Best Research Book on Vietnam

This book was required reading for a class on the Vietnam War at the University of Nebraska. Excellent research vehicle to understand the backround of Vietnam and its trials and tribulations. Starts from the begining and takes you thru the American Vietnam War with an even keel look with a middle of the road written word.

I still use it as a reference while writing my book about the Vietnam War during 1968-69. This book should be read first, before any other Vietnam book, to lay the ground work for all the other Vietnam books that follow.

LB 68-69

vietnam

this book is such a waste of time, it tells you only the point of view of one's man ego and his denial of america's defeat by the north vietnamese. throughout the whole war,the u.s miltary only rely on body counts for there victory ,hoping the north vietnamese would fear the u.s army and surrender ,but in the end ,they were wrong ,the nva and viet cong were determine to fight to the death.

face it,even though the u.s military won many battles,the united states lost the war and retreated . the whole world is aware of this defeat but only some american citizen like this author denies this.

many of the vc casualty are infact innocent civilians ,that the u.s military has covered up by placing nva /vc uniforms and weapons on dead civilians ,then taking photographic pictures of it.

the united states gain nothing from the war ,with 60,000 + dead u.s soldiers ,thousands m.i.a (s) ,150,000 billion dollars down the drain ,over 100,000 seriously injured soldiers including amputees (missing legs,arms , body parts) ,and handicaps ,torn the country apart during the 60's and 70's ,fail to stop communism,fail to protect south vietnam,fail to stop an army that is 10 time smaller then u.s army,and fail to justified the war in rightious context,basically the united states gave up and retreated.

the north vietnamese suffered high casualty by fighting u.s army,australian army ,arvn army,south korean army,and new zealand all by them self ,but fighting to regain there country for a better vietnam in the future was a well justified reason to die just like anyother civil war (compared this to american civil war casualties).

so one's man ego and his obsession of denial will not change the world's view on why people should think who really won the war,everybody knows who won this war,and media wasnt wrong at all.
