The conventional narrative of the Vietnam War often glosses over
the decade leading up to it. Covering the years 1954-1963, this
book presents a thought-provoking reexamination of the war's long
prelude--from the aftermath of French defeat at Dien Bien
Phu--through Hanoi's decision to begin reunification by force--to
the assassination of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem.
Established narratives of key events are given critical reappraisal
and new light is shed on neglected factors. The strategic
importance of Laos is revealed as central to understanding how the
war in the South developed.
