Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy by Max Hastings

A clear-eyed history of the Vietnam War examining the military decisions, political failures and human consequences of three decades of conflict.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine interest in military history, political decision-making and the people affected by major conflicts. He was drawn to books that looked beyond battlefield maps and official accounts to examine the motives, mistakes and lived experiences behind historical events. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by acclaimed historian Max Hastings, Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy, 1945–1975 traces the conflict across thirty years, examining its political origins, military campaigns and lasting consequences.

Combining extensive research with personal accounts, the book considers the experiences of soldiers, civilians and families alongside the decisions made by governments and military leaders, showing how a conflict can expand far beyond its original aims.

A substantial and thought-provoking account for readers interested in the Vietnam War, modern military history and the wider human consequences of conflict.
