Title: Dr. Fall was simply an amazing Journalist, Professor, and man....
Product review: This book is the most important book written on Vietnam prior to the direct involvement of the Americans in this theatre of operations. It was never truly employed on a wide scale by the American military and Dr. Fall was literally ignored by both the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations. There were of course several officers in the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines that did take note of the effects of this book on how they handled the sphere of war within Indochina; two of these officers were Lt.Col. Hal Moore and General "Brute" Krulak. A lot of Americans could have been saved further had the Administration of the time employed Dr. Fall for recommendations of procedure through the high and low country parts of Vietnam.
