At one point in this rich collection of analyses by key players in the Vietnam War debacle, former Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford remarks that "Those with hindsight have 20/20 vision." It's an adage that keeps coming to mind as former hawks still wish our military had been given the tools to win the war on the battlefield, while former doves still insist that we should have withdrawn our troops early on. Among those giving testimony are J. William Fulbright, Alexander Haig, Nguyen Cao Ky, Eugene McCarthy, Walt Rostow, Joan Baez, and former Marine Bobby Muller, who came home a paraplegic. Each chapter covers a major topic in the saga, e.g., "American Views of the Vietnamese." A fascinating, well-organized compendium of diverse opinions and often emotional judgments. Very highly recommended. Richard W. Grefrath, Univ. of Nevada Lib., Reno

This collection of interviews, conducted by Newsweek in 1985 and 1986, describes how the Vietnam War was started, how it was mishandled politically and how it has influenced foreign policy in the years since. "The spectrum of opinion is wide, and the speakers seem to hold nothing back," PW noted.
