America's Longest War (1945 to 1975) may seem like Ancient History to people born after the evacuation of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City). This book examines the con¿ict, its key events, the presidents who were consumed by it, mistakes which were made, its lessons for the 21st century, and places it squarely into the context of the Cold War. Winthrop University history professor Dr. J. Edward Lee suggests that the Vietnam War was a "Noble Tragedy," a mixed metaphor which is relevant in the world of Coronavirus, global tensions, and economic turbulence. He includes a detailed chronology, photographs, and maps. The author writes Noble Tragedy for the post-9/11 generation, but he also writes for a much wider audience.
