Zusammenfassung
Triumph Forsaken, first published in 2007, overturns most of the historical orthodoxy on the Vietnam War. The book provides many new insights into the overthrow of South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem and the policy options that could have enabled South Vietnam to continue the war without a massive US troop infusion.
