Książka w języku angielskim.
„Colonel Palmer has written a comprehensive, objective and highly creditable synthesis of America’s involvement in Vietnam. Of all that has been written about that tragic period of our national history, no publication that I have read more accurately addresses the complex and controversial issues involved in our most visible but least understood war. Colonel Palmer has made a significant contribution to the literature, and thus an understanding of what really happened.” W. C. Westmoreland General, U.S. Army, Retired
„The author’s credentials are unimpeachable, based as they are on extensive, varied and prolonged combat service in Vietnam…. The book will add a new and clearer picture of the pluses and minuses; of the faulty and sound decisions at high levels…. But the major points I wish to stress are the excellence, clarity, frank-ness and readability of this book … a fine contribution to history.” Matthew B. Ridgway General, U.S. Army, Retired
