Excellent History Text
By Antinomian
This is an astonishing history text in many ways, but one of the most is that it was published in 1965, with submissions from what I understand up until Oct 1964, which is barely before the most intense part of the Vietnam War started, yet what's written is just as if it could have been from later in the war. All the problems with the war was already in place at the time Browne published this history textbook.
You may not know the textbook writer, Malcolm Browne, but you'll probably recognize his photographs, one of his most famous being of the monk that set himself on fire in a Vietnam Square.
In some ways, it's even more useful to read this book before the mass quagmire follows later in the war, in that there's less editorializing that plagues so many other "texts" of that war. Browne just writes it right out, doesn't really guess what should be this or that, but writes some conclusions but given on reasons by observations.
The cleverness and the utter ruthlessness and evidence of torture by the Viet Cong is given here. Right there alone this text will disenfranchise those that considered the Viet Cong saints, and there are many many influencial ones out there. It's probably the reason to date there has been only one, one, other review of this text. Of a war so indelibly written on America.
Some other enlightening aspects are the differences between different parts of Vietnam, and how not only do central Vietnamize dislike southern Vietnamize, there seem almost no Vietnamize that like each other. Many are ambitious, but some are more bitter than others and will use their political clout against them if possible. And the corruption politically, it just disenfranchised so many Vietnamize against their government, even after the fall of Diem. But many Vietnamize appreciate courtesy... and receive little of it.
Browne doesn't just leave at that, from his many discussions with Vietnamize, he delves into their past, their colonial past under the French and notice that newly independent South Vietnamize government ofin 1954 didn't change much from the French political system.
The Viet Cong were just so clever in their methods of the war. As Browne put it, the one greatest military item of the war is the ambush. Most confrontations were part of an ambush and the Viet Cong then were able to dictate the location and timing of confrontations. Browne continues to write of the hiding of Viet Cong soldiers in troughs of rice paddies that were ubiquitous in Vietnam and even in seeming dirty puddles during South Vietnamize searches of hamlets, and discoveries of the Viet Cong by just randomly poking in the "puddles" with sticks.
Browne also describes other situations of the country that not once I recall every reading or hearing about before. Such as a major advantage to the Viet Cong is that the country is lush in *food*. That fishing is easy rewarded, rice is numerous and that fruit and other foodstuffs from just the surrounding jungle could sustain them, and that in other countries such a support system would take millions of dollars and much effort and here it is done naturally.
Browne aptly titles his text "The *New* Face of War" in that the guerilla aspect in Vietnam and of the Vietnamize are so different from previous wars the U.S. has been in. The politics is knowingly more important to the Viet Cong than arms themselves, and they used this to their significant advantage. It's difficult to know if the U.S. could handle this type of war again even today.
This seemingly now obscure text is well worth reading for a detailed background of Vietnam and the Vietnam War.

"Increasingly costly in blood and treasure"
By Mike DePue, OFS
While speaking before other true believers in March, 2013, Rep. Louie Gohmert asserted that "Vietnam was winnable but people in Washington decided we would not win it!" Gohmert went on to declare that if the US had made just one more week's worth of bombing runs over Vietnam, the Viet Cong would have surrendered unconditionally.
In 1965, there were many people with assorted motivations who were vociferously maintaining that our involvement in Vietnam was moral, necessary, and winnable. Henry Cabot Lodge (Ambassador to South Vietnam, '63-'64) writes in the preface to this book: "Mr. Browne says `There is a distinct possibility that this war may be lost.' Whereas I would probably say `There is a distinct possibility that this war may be won.'" (p. x)
Browne, with boots on the ground, was more prescient. Although the debacle would not end until the fall of Saigon ten years later, the picture clearly emerging in this book is one of a South Vietnamese government riddled with corruption, inefficiency, and lack of motivation, compared to the People's Army of Vietnam's and the National Liberation Front's ingenuity, resourcefulness, and steadfast motivation.
For instance, a US army infantry advisor (p. 56) ruefully said regarding helicopters: "Helicopters are a partial substitute for infantry discipline, dedication and energy... But they are no substitute for first-class infantrymen willing to fight. After all, when you come to think of it, the use of helicopters is a tacit admission that we don't control the ground. And in the long run, it's control of the ground that wins or loses wars." On what passed for a government in Saigon, the author (p. 214) speaks of "the Saigon ministries, with all their red tape, favoritism, inefficiency, and politics."
Knowing what we now know, a particularly haunting statement appears toward the end of the book (p. 259). "'The constant rotation of Americans has one desirable feature,' a Vietnamese officer told me, with tongue in cheek. 'It gives the maximum number of Americans an opportunity to learn some interesting things from us Vietnamese. But I hope your country will hurry with its education, because time seems to be running out on us all, doesn't it?'"
The appalling carnage so graphically described would intensify over the coming decade. (At the time the book was written, 200+ Americans had died. While solid data is elusive, the Necrometrics total death toll (men, women, and children) of 4.2 million for the entire conflict is by no means unreasonable.) The outcome, however, had already been decided. Gen. Colin Powell, a two-tour Vietnam veteran, would later say: "Our political leaders led us into a war for the one-size-fits-all rationale of anti-Communism, which was only a partial fit in Vietnam, where the war had its own historical roots in nationalism, anticolonialism and civil strife."
