The First Mistake

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the years 1945 to 1954, this analysis by Dr. J. Edward Lee challenges conventional narratives of the Vietnam War by highlighting America's early involvement and its missed opportunities for positive engagement with Ho Chi Minh. The author argues that the U.S. overlooked its own revolutionary ideals of independence and self-determination, ultimately supporting French colonialism instead. This work serves as a critical resource for scholars, veterans, and anyone interested in the complex history of America's Vietnam experience.
