A Better War by Lewis Sorley

A Better War by Lewis Sorley

Award-winning military historian Lewis Sorley's A Better War is "an extraordinary piece of work that is bound to become a valuable part of historical documentation about the war in Vietnam. The first to set the record straight concerning the outcome of that conflict" (H. Norman Schwarzkopf, General, US Army, Retired).



Neglected by scholars and journalists alike, the years of conflict in Vietnam from 1968 to 1975 offer surprises not only about how the war was fought, but about what was achieved. Drawing from thousands of hours of previously unavailable (and still classified) tape-recorded meetings between the highest levels of the American military command in Vietnam, A Better War is an insightful, factual, and superbly documented history of these final years.



Through his exclusive access to authoritative materials, Lewis Sorley highlights the dramatic differences in conception, conduct, and--at least for a time--results between the early and later years of the war. Among his most important findings is that while the war was being lost at the peace table and in the US Congress, the soldiers were winning on the ground. Meticulously researched and movingly told, A Better War sheds new light on the Vietnam War.

Lewis Sorley, a noted intelligence analyst and military historian, is the author of a number of works, including A Better War: The Unexamined Victories and Last Tragedy of America's Last Years in Vietnam, Honorable Warrior: General Harold K. Ford, and A Better War: The Unexamined Victories and Final Tragedy of America's Last Years in Vietnam. Westmoreland: The General Who Lost Vietnam, and Johnson and the Ethics of Leadership.
