  • The best book I have read on the Vietnam War.

    From start to finish a book you can not put down. A very sad fact is that this war never had to happen. The story of John Paul Vann is both heroic and tragic and on its own a great story. This book tells how up and coming young officers with new ideas on how to fight this type of war were knocked down by old WWII mentality. The side story is just how bad our leaders screwed up this entire war from start to finish. The Vietnamese people as a whole had more in common with the United States and it's people than any of the countries that were helping the North in this conflict. A sad fact is had we treated this country and it's people as we wished to be treated this disaster never would have happened. How we ended up backing these corrupt dictators that ran Vietnam during this time ...

  • A Bright Shining Lie

    Neil Sheehan's "A Bright Shining Lie, John Paul Van and America in Vietnam" stands as one of the finest accounts of the Vietnam War and events leading to it. Borrowing quite a bit from David Halberstam's "The Making of a Quagmire" in describing U.S. involvement during the early '60s, Sheehan tells of the inability of the Diem government to defend South Vietnam against communist efforts to unite the country under Hanoi leadership. His account of the fight at Ap Bac illuminates the frustrations of American adviser LTC John Vann and the shift of U.S. policy toward greater battlefield control and eventual combat action by U.S. forces. Sheehan uses Vann's career in Vietnam as a vehicle to provide insight into American policies through the course of the war while describing the complex and ...

  • A must read for anyone interested in the war in Vietnam

    Absolutly one of the best, if not THE BEST, books I have ever read. Neil Sheehan, focusing on the actions and ideas of one man, Lt. Colonel John Paul Vann, is able to create one of the most concise and engrossing accounts of how the United States failed in Vietnam. Mr. Sheehan explores the history of the our involvement in Vietnam, from the fall of the French to our slow escalation, and along the way documents how the American people were lied to. Lied to by the American command in Vietnam, the Secretary of Defense and even the President. By focusing on John Paul Vann, a complex but brillant military leader, Mr. Sheehan shows how the common soldier, despite changes in our strategy that Vann and others tried to implement, was sacrificed to a system too ridgid to change. A must read for ...
