Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy, 1945-1975
By Max Hastings
Vietnam / Cold War / US Military
Max Hastings spent three years interviewing participants on both sides and combing American and Vietnamese records to cover the whole war, from Dien Bien Phu and the Tet Offensive to the air campaign against the North and lesser-known fights like the Daido bloodbath. He treats it as overwhelmingly a Vietnamese tragedy, with about forty Vietnamese deaths for every American, and says atrocities by the Communists get forgotten alongside American blunders.

Geoffrey Wawro argues that its disorganization mirrored an empire rotting from within, and that Germany goaded Austria into a war it was not ready for.
