Mark Carroll, September 18, 2006 (view all comments by Mark Carroll)
This is one of the best books on the Vietnam War. This history is intertwinned with the life of John Paul Vann, a US military advisor. Vann was very outspoken in his views about how the war was being fought and would ultimately be lost if tactics didn't change.
