U.S. political and military difficulties in Iraq have prompted
comparisons to the American war in Vietnam. How, in fact, do the
two wars compare? What are the differences and similarities, and
what insights can be gained from examining them? Does the Vietnam
War have instructive lessons for those dealing with today's
challenges in Iraq, or is that war simply irrelevant? In the pages
that follow, two highly qualified analysts address these questions.
Dr. Jeffrey Record, formerly a civilian pacification advisor in
Vietnam and author of books on both the Vietnam and Iraq wars, and
W. Andrew Terrill, author and co-author of several SSI studies on
Iraq, conclude that the military dimensions of the two conflicts
bear little comparison. Among other things, the sheer scale of the
Vietnam War in terms of forces committed and losses incurred dwarfs
that of the Iraq War. They also conclude, however, that failed U.
S. state-building in Vietnam and the impact of declining domestic
political support for U. S. war aims in Vietnam are issues
pertinent to current U. S. policy in Iraq. The Strategic Studies
Institute is pleased to offer this monograph as a contribution to
the national security debate over Iraq. Douglas C. Lovelace, Jr.
