Vietnam: The Course of a Conflict
No Customer Reviews
This anthology by the George C. Marshall Chair of Military History at the Command and General Staff College traces the course of the Vietnam War from the early advising mission through the large-scale combat phase to the "Vietnamization" and eventual collapse of the South Vietnamese forces and the fall of Saigon. Dr. Jim Willbanks, a veteran of the conflict, devoted his professional life to studying the Vietnam War and this collection distills his insights, observations, and interpretations, capturing them for use by future generations of scholars and soldiers. The individual chapters provide ideal course readings on a wide variety of topics, from the CORDS/Phoenix program, to the Tet Offensive and resulting Battle of Hue, to the South Vietnamese effort in LAM SON 719 and at Saigon. Holistically, it provides an excellent case study of the simultaneous high and low intensity conflict, or "hybrid warfare," likely to characterize future military operations.
