| Note | Originally published: 2018. Includes bibliographical references and index. Vietnam became the Western world's most divisive modern conflict, precipitating a battlefield humiliation for France in 1954, then a vastly greater one for the United States in 1975. No account has blended a political and military narrative of the entireconflict with heart-stopping personal experiences. Many readers treat the war as a US tragedy, yet Hastings sees it as overwhelmingly that of the Vietnamese people, of whom forty died for every American. He marshals testimony from warlords and peasants, s tatesmen and soldiers, to create an epic history of a tragic struggle. |
