Why We Were in Vietnam

Front Cover
Simon and Schuster, 1982 - History - 240 pages
Norman Podhoretz retells the story of how and why the United States went to war in Vietnam and how and why it was driven out. Highlighting the major turning points of the war, Podhoretz takes us on a fascinating journey through the entire series of ideas, policies and decisions that led to America's escalating involvement and eventual defeat. He also reviews the ideas of people who called those decisions immoral or criminal, as well as the arguments of those who at first supported the war and then turned against it. (from book jacket)
