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.
