Comprehensive yet concise,America's Longest War provides a complete and balanced history of the Vietnam War. It is not mainly a military history,but seeks to integrate military,diplomatic,and political factors in order to clarify America's involvement and ultimate failure in Vietnam. While it focuses on the American side of the equation,it provides sufficient consideration of the Vietnamese side to make the events comprehensible.
