"The hot book among Iraq strategists." --David Ignatius, "The
Washington Post"
Lewis Sorley's important and influential book "A Better War" sheds
light on the often neglected final years in Vietnam from 1968 to
1975 and revises our knowledge of the war and its conclusion.
Drawing on his exclusive access to still classified tape-recorded
meetings of the highest levels of military command in Vietnam,
Sorley highlights the dramatic differences in the conception, the
conduct, and--at least for a time--the results after General
Creighton Abrams succeeded to the top military post in 1968.
Meticulously researched and movingly told, "A Better War" is an
insightful history and a great human drama of purposeful and
principled service in the face of an agonizing succession of lost
opportunities--and it is never as important as it is now.
"A comprehensive and long-overdue examination of the immediate
post-Tet offensive years." --"The New York Times"
""
"The book is the missing link in the history of the Vietnam War. It
opens the old arguments up again and shows them in a new light."
--"Strategic Review"
""
"["A Better War"] is an outstanding piece of work, historically
important with its use of new evidence, intellectually challenging
with its suggestion of new interpretations of events, and highly
readable." --"Army"
Lewis Sorley, a third-generation graduate of West Point, also holds
a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University. He has served in the
U.S. Army, on staff at the Pentagon, and later as a senior civilian
official of the Central Intelligence Agency. He lives in Maryland.
