From Publishers Weekly
This comprehensively researched monograph， based on the author’s Ph.D. dissertation， depicts U.S. political leaders as the consistent driving force behind America’s Vietnam commitment. Military leaders were wary of intervention from 1945 onward and deeply divided over U.S. prospects to the point that they frequently offered bleak evaluations of the situation. Dissenters in the armed forces， however， were stifled by a command structure that shifted the burden of decision-making onto political authority by demanding levels of escalation that were politically impossible to implement. The military thus dodged its share of responsibility for ’losing’ an unwinnable war. Buzzanco exaggerates the armed forces’ appropriate role in policy-making; at times he virtually implies that the Joint Chiefs of Staff should have said ’Enough’ on their own authority， defying the political leadership if necessary. That overstated argument makes this a book to be used with caution， despite its valuable analysis of the military’s negative perspective on the Vietnam War.

Book Description
Throughout the past decade， defenders of the U.S. role in Vietnam have argued that America’s defeat was not the result of an illegitimate intervention or military shortcomings， but rather a failure of will because national leaders， principally Lyndon B. Johnson， forced the troops to ’fight with one hand tied behind their backs.’ In this volume， Robert Buzzanco disproves this theory by demonstrating that political leaders， not the military brass， pressed for war; that American policymakers always understood the problems and peril of war in Indochina; and that civil-military acrimony and the political desire to defer responsibility for Vietnam helped lead the United States into the war. For the first time， these crucial issues of military dissent， interservice rivalries， and civil-military relations and politics have been tied together to provide a cogent and comprehensive analysis of the U.S. role in Vietnam.
