The ARVN and the Fight for South Vietnam

More about the book

The book delves into the escalation of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War following the French withdrawal in 1955, highlighting the transition to an "Americanized" conflict by 1965. It examines the tactical victories achieved by U.S. forces, juxtaposed with their struggles to maintain territorial control. The narrative also addresses the growing unpopularity of the war in America and the strategic implications of North Vietnam's major invasions in 1968 and 1972, which ultimately influenced the policy of "Vietnamization" and the withdrawal of American troops.
