The history of Vietnam

 

This is a review of a book on the real history of the Vietnam war.  It presents a view other than the "conventional wisdom".

 

 

Moyar's history takes issue with all of these contentions. A brilliant young scholar with a Cambridge doctorate who is currently teaching at the Marine Corps University in Quantico, Moyar is representative of a small but increasingly influential revisionist school that rejects the fundamental orthodox premise that America's involvement in Vietnam was wrongheaded and unjust.
