Going beyond the dominant orthodox narrative to incorporate insight
from revisionist scholarship on the Vietnam War, Michael G. Kort
presents the case that the United States should have been able to
win the war, and at a much lower cost than it suffered in defeat.
Presenting a study that is both historiographic and a narrative
history, Kort analyzes important factors such as the strong
nationalist credentials and leadership qualities of South Vietnam's
Ngo Dinh Diem; the flawed military strategy of 'graduated response'
developed by Robert McNamara; and the real reasons South Vietnam
collapsed in the face of a massive North Vietnamese invasion in
1975. Kort shows how the US commitment to defend South Vietnam was
not a strategic error but a policy consistent with US security
interests during the Cold War, and that there were potentially
viable strategic approaches to the war that might have saved South
Vietnam.
