内容简介:
Neglected by scholars and journalists alike, the years of
conflict in Vietnam from 1968 to 1975 offer surprises not only
about how the war was fought, but about what was achieved. Drawing
from thousands of hours of previously unavailable (and still
classified) tape-recorded meetings between the highest levels of
the American military command in Vietnam, A Better War is an
insightful, factual, and superbly documented history of these final
years. Through his exclusive access to authoritative materials,
award-winning historian Lewis Sorley highlights the dramatic
differences in conception, conduct, and-at least for a time-results
between the early and later years of the war. Among his most
important findings is that while the war was being lost at the
peace table and in the U.S. Congress, the soldiers were winning on
the ground. Meticulously researched and movingly told, A Better War
sheds new light on the Vietnam War.

There was a moment when the United States had the Vietnam War
wrapped up, writes military historian Lewis Sorley (biographer of
two Vietnam-era U.S. Army generals, Creighton Abrams and Harold
Johnson). "The fighting wasn't over, but the war was won," he says
in this convention-shaking book. "This achievement can probably
best be dated in late 1970." South Vietnam was ready to carry on
the battle without American ground troops and only logistical and
financial support. Sorley says that replacing General Westmoreland
with Abrams in 1968 was the key. "The tactics changed within
fifteen minutes of Abrams's taking command," remarked one officer.
Abrams switched the war aims from destruction to control; he was
less interested in counting enemy body bags than in securing South
Vietnam's villages. A Better War is unique among histories of the
Vietnam War in that it focuses on the second half of the conflict,
roughly from Abrams's arrival to the fall of Saigon in 1975. Other
volumes, such as Stanley Karnow's Vietnam and Neil Sheehan's A
Bright Shining Lie, tend to give short shrift to this period.
Sorley shows how the often-overlooked Abrams strategy nearly
succeeded--indeed, Sorley says it did succeed, at least until
political leadership in the United States let victory slip away.
Sorley cites other problems, too, such as low morale among troops
in the field, plus the harmful effects of drug abuse, racial
disharmony, and poor discipline. In the end, the mighty willpower
of Abrams and diplomatic allies Ellsworth Bunker and William Colby
was not enough. But, with its strong case that they came pretty
close to winning, A Better War is sure to spark controversy.
