Military History

No Wider War is the second volume in a two-part exploration of America's engagement in Indochina from the end of World War II to. the fall of Saigon. Following on from the first volume, In Good Faith, which covers the history of the war from the Japanese surrender in 1945 through America's involvement in the French Indochina War and the initial advisory missions that followed, No Wider War takes up the story from the first deployment of US combat ground troops on the beaches at Da Nang in March 1965. Drawing on the latest research, Sergio Miller provides a comprehensive survey of Americas major military operations and, in doing so, charts the changing shape of the conflict. He explores the devastating effect that the Tet Offensive of 1968 had on the political direction of the war, and examines the resulting policy of Vietnamization that continued right up until the final American withdrawal from the chaos of Saigon in April 1975. Examining in depth both the events and the key figures of the conflict, this volume concludes a definitive new account of one of the most divisive wars in Americas history. Book jacket.
