xiv, 240 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Chronology. Appendices. Sources. Index. Date stamped on half-title page. Cover has some wear and soiling. Dr. Dillard graduated from Georgia Military Academy in Atlanta and in 1961 from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He received a doctorate in history from the University of Washington in Seattle and was a tenured member of the faculty at his alma mater West Point. Dr. Dillard had a distinguished military career. For his service in the Vietnam war he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal, with Valor, and the Silver Star Medal, a decoration awarded for gallantry in action against an enemy. He was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for his leadership as commanding officer of a cavalry squadron at Fort Riley, Kansas. Later in his career he was a senior research fellow at the National War College and an associate professor of history at West Point. Scott also taught classes at Rappahannock Community College during his years in the Northern Neck. This is the history of the US Delegation, Four-Part Joint Military Commission, in the Republic of Vietnam, during the final days of the formal American troop commitment in 1973. It is another piece of the historical puzzle, even bewilderment, about the US intervention in South Vietnam subconsciously guiding the thoughts of many Americans today, years after the withdrawal and the cause was lost. This is also a study of how US military forces in the combat theater of South Vietnam organized themselves to deal with the enemy to fulfill the requirements of an agreement and series of protocols imperfectly negotiated in Paris. It is a study of accomplishment and failure, quite satisfaction and deep frustration, elation and despair. Almost fortuitously, staff officers of talent were on duty at Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV) headquarters to set up the US Delegation; some, in fact, later became members of the delegation. they had been routinely assigned to South Vietnam; only a few had volunteered, except in the sense that by not resigning from military service, they could not be considered forced to come against their will. Significant numbers held advanced degrees from excellent universities in disciplines such as history, international relations, political science, and economics that lent themselves readily to application in Vietnam and the work of the delegation, as well as provided academic depth and background.…
