An account of the mistakes and misjudgements committed by the White House, the Pentagon and the field commanders during the Vietnam War. The conflict which scarred the US nation created enough controversy to keep military analysts occupied for years. This book examines the salutary lessons learned during the war, and questions whether they have been truly learned or even admitted. The author discusses the problems which beset American involvement in the war - Agent Orange, the M16 rifle, short-term tours of duty, morality disputes and low morale. The book shows all aspects of the war operations, dealing with hardware, strategy, logistics, morale, mobility and feedback, and revealing hitherto unpublished errors.
