"Davidson has accomplished a major fete in describing the military history of both the first and second Vietnam War. Not concentrating on the political aspects of the war, Davidson dramatically discusses the military strategy which won and lost the war."--Bradley Skelcher, Delaware StateCollege, "An outstanding operational history of three Indochina wars....Deserves to be widely read as a counterpoint to Stanley Karnow's Vietnam: A History."--Library Journal, "Karnow has painted the domestic, political, international, and historical panorama of the Vietnam experience.

Synopsis
Weaving together the stories of three distinct conflicts Phillip B. Davidson follows the entire course of the Vietnam War, from the initial French skirmishes in 1946 to the dramatic fall of Saigon nearly thirty years later. His connecting thread is North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap, a remarkable figure who, with no formal military training, fashioned a rag-tag militia into one of the world's largest and most formidable armies. By focusing on Giap's role throughout the war, and by making available for the first time a wealth of recently declassified information, Davidson is in the unique position to view the war from the North Vietnamese perspective. And his experience as Chief Intelligence Officer under Generals Westmoreland and Abrams allows him to tell firsthand the story of America's tragic ordeal in Indochina, and to bring his rare insight to bear on many topics of continuing controversy. Comprehensive, authoritative, and often controversial, Vietnam at War is the definitive history of a conflict that still rages in the American psyche., Weaving together the histories of three distinct conflicts, Phillip B. Davidson follows the entire course of the Vietnam War, from the initial French skirmishes in 1946 to the dramatic fall of Saigon nearly thirty years later. His connecting thread is North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap, a remarkable figure who, with no formal military training, fashioned a rag-tag militia into one of the world's largest and most formidable armies. By focusing on Giap's role throughout the war, and by making available for the first time a wealth of recently declassified North Vietnamese documents, Davidson offers unprecedented insight into Hanoi's military strategies, an insight surpassed only by his inside knowledge of American operations and planning. Eminently qualified to write this history, Davidson--who served as chief intelligence officer under Generals Westmoreland and Abrams--tells firsthand the story of our tragic ordeal in Indochina and brings his unique understanding to bear on topics of continuing controversy, offering a chilling account, for example, of when and where the U.S. considered using nuclear weapons. The most comprehensive and authoritative history of the conflict to date, Vietnam at War sparkles with a rare immediacy, and brings to life in compelling fashion the war that tore America apart. We witness the chaos in Saigon when fireworks celebrating the Tet holiday are suddenly transformed into deadly rocket and machine-gun fire. We sit in on high-level meetings where General Westmoreland plans operations, or simply engages in some tough "headknocking" with subordinates. And in the end we learn that even the seemingly limitless resources of the U.S. military could not match the revolutionary "grand strategy" of the North Vietnamese. With its easy movement from intimate memoir to trenchant military analysis, from the conference rooms of generals to the battle-scarred streets of Hue, this is military history at its most gripping. A monumental, engrossing, and unforgettable chronicle, Vietnam at War is indispensable for anyone hoping to understand a conflict that still rages in the American psyche.
