Contents Description:

Dave Palmer traces the conflict from the advisory decade of 1954-64. He explains the politics of America's ever-growing commitment and the futility of the strategy of restricted warfare that failed to persuade Hanoi to end the struggle. He shows the United States lurching fro the brink of military disaster in 1965 to a surprise reminiscent of Pearl Harbor in the 1968 offensive. He tells of our agonizing departure. - from the inside flap
