## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Lucid, Panoramic, Thorough, and Short
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2015*

Lucid; panoramic; and not overly long.  His research is prodigious; best footnotes I've seen in a long time; and he minces no words when it's time to discuss Nixon and Kissinger.  In fact, Herring minces no words when he discusses all our presidents from Truman through Carter. But perhaps his sharpest insights are reserved for Ho Chi Minh and his successor Le Duan, especially the latter.  Altogether the best short history of the Vietnam Wars I've read.  Herring is both scholarly and opinionated -- and clearly labels each -- and his bibliography provides enough specialized reading for a lifetime.  The most recent edition of the book takes advantage of recently opened archives and current scholarly research; and Professor Herring's opinions clearly have not mellowed with age -- a good thing.  He even manages some rare bits of humor, here and there, in a book otherwise focused on our worst American tragedy since our Civil War.

    A well researched and well written book
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2019*

This book was required reading for a course I was taking on the Vietnam War.  I am grateful to the instructor who included it in the reading list.  Eminently readable and comprehensive, this book provides a wide range view of America's war, starting in 1945.I recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about the Vietnam War.
