Today, thirty-five years after the fall of Saigon, scholars and
historians have had opportunities to examine the Vietnam war from
diverse viewpoints and the distance of time. But soon after the
war, memories of loss still fresh, top military leaders of defeated
South Vietnam recorded their observations in a series of
publications sponsored by the U.S. Army Center of Military History.
Insightful and poignant, unaltered and unedited by the CMH, their
distinctive stories are little known and long out of print. Veteran
historian Lewis Sorley has gathered, edited, and arranged these
seventeen monographs for ease of reference and access, providing
valuable biographies of the generals (some including photographs),
plus maps and index. The volume's chapters cover a range of topics,
including: ] "Leadership" by Gen. Cao Van Vien, for nearly a decade
chief of the Joint General Staff (the rough equivalent of the U.S.
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff)] "The U.S. Adviser" by
General Vien and other senior officers] "Intelligence" by Col.
Hoang Ngoc Lung, longtime chief intelligence officer of the RVNAF
(Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces)] "Pacification" by Brig. Gen.
Tran Dinh Tho] "The RVNAF" by chief logistics officer Lt. Gen. Dong
Van Khuyen] "Territorial Forces" by Lt. Gen. Ngo Quang Truong,
considered South Vietnam's best field commanderAugmented with
Sorley's introduction and epilogue, The Vietnam War brings the
South Vietnamese military experience into sharper perspective, at
last available for wider use and appreciation.
