Synopsis
James F. Dunnigan and Albert A Nofi's Dirty Little Secrets of the Vietnam War allows us to see what really happened to American forces in Southeast Asia, separating popular myth from explosive reality in a clear, concise manner. Containing more than two hundred examinations of different aspects of the war, the book questions why the American military ignored the lessons taught by previous encounters with insurgency forces; probes the use of group think and mind control by the North Vietnamese; and explores the role technology played in shaping the way the war was fought. Of course, the book also reveals the "dirty little secrets," the truth behind such aspects of the conflict as the rise of the Montagnard mercenaries-the most feared group of soldiers participating in the secret war in Laos-and the details of the hidden struggle for the Ho Chi Minh Trail. With its unique and perceptive examination of the conflict, Dirty Little Secrets of the Vietnam War offers a critical addition to the library of Vietnam War history., Dirty Little Secrets of the Vietnam War allows us to see what really happened to American forces in Southeast Asia, separating popular myth from explosive reality in a clear, concise manner.

Dirty Little Secrets of the Vietnam War
I am a Vietnam vet having served with the Navy in the Mekong Delta as a Huey door gunner during 1971-72. We operated from remote sites and got to know the locals well. When we left in Feb. 1971, I wondered what the fate of my contacts would be, and why we were in the mess we were in. This book answered many questions as to how & why were in their country to rescue Vietnam from the Vietnamese. I would hope our political leaders would read this book so it won't happen again. Once I began reading, couldn't stop until I finish! It is a well written, easy read. The author repeats himself in some places, but that is expected to connect the story. For the '60's history buff, a "must read" and goes will with my collection.

A must read and important reference source for the Vietnam conflict!
This is an important and definitive work on the Vietnam experience. I found most of the information here unavailable (for reasons that will be clear if you read the book) elsewhere. The many tables and lists appear to be well researched and contain facts that will probably surprise and maybe shock most that see them here, especially those who did not serve in the Vietnam conflict. A must read!!! Cdr. Roger S. Stasiak, MSC, USN-ret.
