Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Harry G. Summers was an infantry squad leader in the Korean War and a battalion and corps operations officer in the Vietnam War. He later served on the faculty of the Army War College and worked as the editor of Vietnam magazine and as a nationally syndicated columnist on national defense and security affairs. He died in 1999.
Summer's inspired analysis of America's war in Vietnam answers the most pressing questions remaining from that terrible conflict more than a decade before Robert McNamara's painful admissions.

Etat : Very Good. A masterful analysis of the strategy, or lack thereof, in the Vietnam War . a book that every policy maker in Washington should absorb. -- Max Cleland, Atlanta Journal ConstitutionRequired reading at The National, Naval, and Air War Colleges, as well as other high level military institutions throughout the United States, American Strategy in Vietnam has become one of the most-well-respected investigations of the strategic and tactical policies of the U.S. Army during the twentieth century. Crackling with keen insight and clarity, this invaluable resource has renewed the study of strategy and its vital relationship to the art of war.Drawing heavily on the brilliant theories of the great Prussian general Carl von Clausewitz, this is the definitive politico-military assessment of the Vietnam War. Instead of merely examining the individual strategic flaws of the conflict, the book embraces a larger scope: how the weak relationship between military strategy and national policy led to the Vietnam War's unpopular and faulty definition--and eventual failure. Particularly relevant today, this important expose stresses the futility of any military action without the full support and involvement of the country's people. N° de réf. du vendeur 00106409152
