In the same vein, I'd recommend Lewis Sorley's A Better War. It chronicles the war as conducted by the late Gen. Creighton Abrams, and documents its best-kept secret: we won. By 1973 we had utterly destroyed the Vietcong, and had neutralized the NVA's ability to conduct offensive warfare. On top of our battlefield success, Nixon's '72 Linebacker raids caused deep damage to the communist regime leaving Hanoi "on the ropes". Thus, the '73 accords.

The loss of Vietnam came only later, after we had essentially left the field and ceased to support the RVN logistically. Given that support, it's entirely possible that the RVN might still exist. If only Watergate hadn't happened...

Always remember who was responsible that monumental betrayal of our soldiers and our allies, one of the worst in human history: the media-industrial complex and its political arm, the Democrat Party.

Never forget, never forgive.
