Ten years after the end of the American involvement in the Vietnam
War, a career Foreign Service officer, Thomas J. Corcoran, set down
in writing his thoughts on the history of U.S. State Department
policy during America's involvement with South Vietnam. Like many
Americans of his generation, he was perplexed by the failure of
America to achieve its goals in South Vietnam. As an ambassador and
with over 30 years of diplomatic experience – beginning in 1948
when he was assigned to Hanoi and involving other postings in
Southeast Asia – he brought to his analysis a long and rich
personal experience with events in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The
result is a thoughtful, objective and well-researched study that
chronicles the key policy decisions made by the US State Department
throughout the entire period from 1945 to 1975; decisions that
ultimately led to the first war lost by the United States. In his
extensive study, Corcoran does an excellent job of exposing many of
the myths and falsehoods found in orthodox histories of U.S.
involvement in Vietnam.
