25 years after the end of the Vietnam War, historian and journalist A.J. Languth delivers an authoritative account of the war based on official documents not available earlier and on new reporting from both the American and Vietnamese perspectives. In Our Vietnam, Langguth takes us inside the waffling and deceitful White Houses of Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon; documents the ineptness and corruption of our South Vietnamese allies; and recounts the bravery of soldiers on both sides of the war. With its broad sweep and keen insights, it brings together the kaleidoscopic events and personalities of the war into one engrossing and unforgettable narrative.
