US Army War College, 1981, 1981-01-01. Hardcover. Very Good. 9x6x1. No dust jacket as issued, binding sound, internally clean. "This important book is one man's critical analysis of American strategy in the Vietnam war. That man, Harry Summers, is an active Army officer who began professional life as an enlisted soldier, knows personally the bayonet-point reality of war, and has thought widely about strategic issues. His commitment to the nation and Army he serves is unstinting." "... Colonel Summers has focused his attention at that point in the strategic continuum where military strategy and national policy come together. His main thesis is that a lack of understanding of the relationship between military strategy and national policy caused us to exhaust our will and endurance against a secondary enemy, the guerrilla movement in South Vietnam, instead of focusing our military efforts to check North Vietnamese expansion in support of our national policy of containment. ..." DeWitt C. Smith, Jr. Lieutenant General, United States Army (Retired)

Description:
Carlisle Barracks, PA: U.S. Army War College, 1981. good. 137, wraps, footnotes, bibliography, index, small red marks in margins of a few pages, spine and rear cover somewhat faded. First three pages creased. An important study of the war by a career officer, applying Clausewitz's principles to the actual conduct of the war. A controversial study even before publication, this has since come to be recognized as one of the pieces of writing to formally articulate the "lessons of Vietnam" in a way that attempts to understand the mistakes and build for the future from the basis of that understanding. Summers focusedon the questions at the intersection of military strategy and national policy, and the effect of his (and later, others') analyses of such questions has been amply demonstrated in the U.S. conduct of the Gulf War, for example.
