Vietnam : The History Of An Unwinnable War, 1945-1975

  • Vietnam : The History Of An Unwinnable War, 1945-1975

  • Attribution

    John Prados

  • Publication Details

    Book, University Press of Kansas, 2009

  • Description

    Prados patiently pieces back together the events and moments, from the end of World War II until our dispiriting departure from Vietnam in 1975, that reveal a war that now appears to have been truly unwinnable–due to opportunities lost, missed, ignored, or refused. By turns engaging narrative history, compelling analytic treatise, and moving personal account, Prados’s magnum opus challenges previous authors and should rightfully take its place as the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and accurate one-volume account of a war that–judging by the frequent analogies to the current war in Iraq–has not yet really ended for any of us.

Inside The Pentagon Papers

  • Inside The Pentagon Papers

  • Attribution

    edited by John Prados and Margaret Pratt Porter

  • Publication Details

    Book, University Press of Kansas, 2004

  • Links

  • Description

    Inside the Pentagon Papers addresses legal and moral issues that resonate today as debates continue over government secrecy and democracy’s requisite demand for truthfully informed citizens. When Daniel Ellsberg leaked a secret government study about the Vietnam War to the press in 1971, he set off a chain of events that culminated in one of the most important First Amendment decisions in American legal history. Included here for the first time are transcripts of previously secret White House telephone tapes revealing the Nixon administration’s repressive strategies, as well as the government’s formal charges against the newspapers presented by Solicitor General Erwin Griswold to the Supreme Court.

    Journal of Military History Could the United States have won the Vietnam War if it had been able to cut off the Viet Cong from their North Vietnamese support by severing the Ho Chi Minh Trail?
