Hardback. Zustand: Good. The hot book among Iraq strategists. --David Ignatius, The Washington Post Lewis Sorley s important and influential book A Better War sheds light on the often neglected final years in Vietnam from 1968 to 1975 and revises our knowledge of the war and its conclusion. Drawing on his exclusive access to still classified tape-recorded meetings of the highest levels of military command in Vietnam, Sorley highlights the dramatic differences in the conception, the conduct, and--at least for a time--the results after General Creighton Abrams succeeded to the top military post in 1968. Meticulously researched and movingly told, A Better War is an insightful history and a great human drama of purposeful and principled service in the face of an agonizing succession of lost opportunities--and it is never as important as it is now. A comprehensive and long-overdue examination of the immediate post-Tet offensive years. --The New York TimesThe book is the missing link in the history of the Vietnam War. It opens the old arguments up again and shows them in a new light. --Strategic Review[A Better War] is an outstanding piece of work, historically important with its use of new evidence, intellectually challenging with its suggestion of new interpretations of events, and highly readable. --Army Lewis Sorley, a third-generation graduate of West Point, also holds a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University. He has served in the U.S. Army, on staff at the Pentagon, and later as a senior civilian official of the Central Intelligence Agency. He lives in Maryland.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. In this magnificent book we have another of Sorley s powerful, authoritative studies, this time the most stunning portrait of General Westmoreland who he was, how he fought his war, and why. It is a masterful analysis, sure to stand alone and dominate the current and past writing on Vietnam. Himself a soldier, Sorley is sympathetic where he ought to be, but relentless where the whole truth must be known. In the mountains of good and bad considerations of the war, Sorley has given us something we did not have: a deep understanding of this most complex man, his extraordinary life, and how his decisions affected us all. General John R. Galvin, U.S. Army (ret.), Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (1987 1992) Lewis Sorley s brilliant portrait of General Westmoreland also helps us understand why our war lasted so long and ended as it did. This is biography at its finest. Bui Diem, Republic of Vietnam Ambassador to the United States (1967 1972) A terrific book, lively and brisk and surprisingly interesting . . . This will be the definitive book on Westmoreland, and a must-read for anyone who tries to understand the Vietnam War. Thomas E. Ricks, author of Fiasco and The Gamble To understand the Vietnam War in its totality one must logically try to understand General Westmoreland. Lewis Sorley has made an enormous contribution by revealing Westmoreland s complex personality and the role it played in U.S. foreign policy. Melvin R. Laird, Secretary of Defense (1969 1973) Eye-opening and sometimes maddening, Sorley s Westmoreland is not to be missed. John Prados, author of The History of an Unwinnable War.…
