Best, Mike <file://www.kansaspress.ku.edu>www.kansaspress.ku.edu PS: Here's a good description and cover image of John's book: <file://www.kansaspress.ku.edu/pravie.html>www.kansaspress.ku.edu/pravie.html. The Johns Hopkins University Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) Southeast Asia Studies Presents A Book Discussion on Vietnam: The History of an Unwinnable War, 1945-1975 by John Prados John Prados Senior Fellow, National Security Archive George Washington University Discussants: Dale Andrade Senior Historian, U.S. Army Center of Military History Author of America's Last Vietnam Battle: Halting Hanoi's 1972 Easter Offensive Bernard Kalb Former Television Network Journalist The Vietnam war continues to generate intense controversy. While most people agree that the United States did not win the war, a vocal minority ask why "victory" never came, attributing our defeat to everything from domestic politics to the press. Our military never lost a battle--how then did it not win the war? John Prados takes a fresh look at both the war and the debates about it to produce a reassessment of one our nation's most tragic episodes. His book draws upon several decades of research, including recently declassified documents, newly available presidential tapes, and a wide range of Vietnamese and other international sources.
