Part one of planned two-part work. Makes use of non-U.S., especially Vietnamese sources available since the fall of the Soviet Union, showing role of USSR and China in the conflict and of North Vietnamese control of Viet Cong. Favors military view of the war, but he backs up views with detail, so his conclusions can be reasonably debated. A landmark, eye-opening work, well worth the time.

Literaturhinweise zu diesem Werk aus externen Quellen. Wikipedia auf Englisch (39)Drawing on a wealth of new evidence from all sides, Triumph Forsaken, first published in 2007, overturns most of the historical orthodoxy on the Vietnam War. Through the analysis of international perceptions and power, it shows that South Vietnam was a vital interest of the United States. The book provides many insights into the overthrow of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963 and demonstrates that the coup negated the South Vietnamese government's tremendous, and hitherto unappreciated, military and political gains between 1954 and 1963. After Diem's assassination, President Lyndon Johnson had at his disposal several aggressive policy options that could have enabled South Vietnam to continue the war without a massive US troop infusion, but he ruled out these options because of faulty assumptions and inadequate intelligence, making such an infusion the only means of saving the country.
