John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam

This passionate, epic account of the Vietnam War centres on Lt Col John Paul Vann, whose story illuminates America's failures & disillusionment in SE Asia.  A field adviser to the army when US involvement was just beginning, he quickly became appalled at the corruption of the S. Vietnamese regime, their incompetence in fighting the Communists & their brutal alienation of their own people.  Finding his superiors too blinded by political lies to understand the war was being thrown away, he secretly briefed reporters on what was really happening. One of those reporters was Neil Sheehan.

Neil Sheehan was a Vietnam War correspondent for United Press International & the NY Times & won a number of awards for reporting.  In 1971 he obtained the Pentagon Papers, which brought the Times the Pulitzer gold medal for meritorious public service.  A Bright Shining Lie won the National Book Award & the Pulitzer Prize for Non-Fiction.  He lives in Washington DC.
