Abstract

Une histoire de la guerre du Vietnam en images. C’est une guerre non censurée. Aucun autre conflit n’a été aussi librement photographié. Ce livre raconte en images les hommes dans la guerre, au fil de la montée en puissance de la présence américaine sur le sol vietnamien. Les 300 photographies intenses révèlent ce que vivent les soldats au combat et dans les camps, mais aussi la souffrance des civils au cœur d’une guerre d’insurrection où chacun est suspect pour son voisin.

Abstract

General William C. Westmoreland has long been derided for his failed strategy of ""attrition"" in the Vietnam War. Historians have argued that Westmoreland's strategy placed a premium on high ""body counts"" through a ""big unit war"" that relied almost solely on search and destroy missions. Many believe the U.S. Army failed in Vietnam because of Westmoreland's misguided and narrow strategy In a groundbreaking reassessment of American military strategy in Vietnam, Gregory Daddis overturns conventional wisdom and shows how Westmoreland did indeed develop a comprehensive campaign which included
