Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, former Minister of Finance of the Republic of South Vietnam, addresses a common perception of Vietnam: that South Vietnam was a fragmented society which did not deserve to succeed because of its internal weaknesses.

Pay Any Price: Lyndon Johnson and the Wars for Vietnam
ISBN: 9781566631754 / Angielski / Miękka / 629 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Pay Any Price is Lloyd Gardner's riveting account of the fall into Vietnam; of behind-the-scenes decision-making at the highest levels of government; of miscalculation, blinkered optimism, and moral obtuseness. Blending political biography with diplomatic history, Gardner has...
