Vietnam, & offers insight into the war’s beginning, escalation, & troubling conclusion.

He left S. Vietnam in 1975 during the Fall of Saigon. Ky discusses his own successes & failures as a leader & dramatically relates the progress of the war as it unfolded on the ground & behind the scenes, incl. anecdotes about Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, William Westmoreland, Henry Cabot Lodge, William Colby, Henry Kissinger, & many others. B&W photos.
