Argument Without End: In Search of Answers to the Vietnam Tragedy - Thryft

Insightful autopsy of the Vietnam War's tragedies.

Imagine a book that delves deep into the heart of a painful past, seeking truths often buried in political and cultural crossfire. "Argument Without End" isn’t just an academic recounting; it’s a piercing journey into the complexities and missteps that led to such prolonged conflict and loss. If you’re keen on understanding history beyond the surface, on hearing the perspectives from both sides of the war, then this book will resonate with you. It's especially worthwhile for anyone interested in the lessons that history can teach us about conflict resolution and international politics.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The former Secretary of Defense, and leading scholars from the U.S. and Vietnam, offer a groundbreaking new study of exactly how the Vietnam War happened and why it could not be stopped before millions died. Drawing on an array of recently declassified documents and a series of unprecedented meetings with former top North Vietnamese leaders, Argument Without End reframes the war and the decision-making that surrounded it. It draws surprising conclusions, many of which debunk conventional wisdom and will no doubt cause debate among scholars, journalists, veterans, military personnel, and ordinary Americans who lived through the war era. Like no other book before it, Argument Without End allows us to look at the decisions that led to the war and to its tragic, ultimately pointless continuation. It also shows conclusively that the war could not be won militarily by the United States. One of the most important works on Vietnam to be published, Argument Without End is also a book of lasting relevance to all who seek to quell the conflicts between nations.
