Overview
Building on the arguments of his earlier work, ""Nixon's Vietnam War"", Kimball also offers readers a concise narrative of the evolution of Nixon-era strategy and a critical assessment of historical myths about the war. The story that emerges from both the documents and Kimball's contextual narratives directly contradicts the Nixon-Kissinger version of events. In fact Kimball concludes that they did not pursue a consistent strategy from beginning to end and did not win a peace with honour.
