Nothing Is Impossible - America's Reconciliation with Vietnam (Hardcover)

Today Vietnam is one of America’s strongest international
partners, with a thriving economy and a population that welcomes
American visitors. How that relationship was formed is a
twenty-year story of daring diplomacy and a careful thawing of
tensions between the two countries after a lengthy war that cost
nearly 60,000 American and more than two million Vietnamese lives.
 Ted Osius, former ambassador during the Obama
administration, offers a vivid account, starting in the 1990s, of
the various forms of diplomacy that made this reconciliation
possible. He considers the leaders who put aside past traumas to
work on creating a brighter future, including senators John McCain
and John Kerry, two Vietnam veterans and ideological opponents who
set aside their differences for a greater cause, and Pete
Peterson—the former POW who became the first U.S. ambassador to a
new Vietnam. Osius also draws upon his own experiences working
first-hand with various Vietnamese leaders and traveling the
country on bicycle to spotlight the ordinary Vietnamese people who
have helped bring about their nation’s extraordinary
renaissance.  With a foreword by former Secretary of
State John Kerry, Nothing Is Impossible tells an
inspiring story of how international diplomacy can create a better
world.
