"Mainly a collection of essays that first appeared in The Veteran, the official publication of the Vietnam Veterans of America, John Prado's Hidden History systematically challenges some of the more powerful falsehoods surronding the U.S. war on Vietnam." American policy was doomed to failure no matter what kind of "perfect strategy" might have been tried. Harry Summers and William Westmoreland are wrong to have claimed that some "decisive intervention" would have saved the U.S., nor would moreair power have made any difference. Vietnam's internal problems, especially the 1963 Buddhist uprisings, made any U.S. policy unworkable. Operation Phoenix was not successful in stopping infiltration from the north or in stabilizing the south.
