MWSA Book Review

America Won The Vietnam War – How The Left Snatched Defeat From The Jaws of Victory

Author:  Robert R. Owens, PH.D.

Publisher:  Xulon Press

Reviewer: Bill McDonald – President of the MWSA

Never has anyone written such a scholarly and non-biased book about the Vietnam War.  Dr. Robert Owens has done a ton of research and has his facts and data all lined up to prove that “America Won the Vietnam War!”

His book goes into great detail about how the media and politicians created their own history and ignored some of the basic truths about the actual war on the battlefields of Vietnam.  This book is amazing and should be part of every college and high school class that studies that period of our history.

All Vietnam veterans need to read this book so that they understand that they really did win the war; and that they were very effective in battles.  As the author says on the back of his book:

To you, the unappreciated veterans of Vietnam, I say: “you may not have received a parade when you came home.  The media may continue to malign your name.  However, beginning here, it is my hope that you will see the record of your courageous achievements corrected and the history of your selfless service acknowledged.  In my book I reveal the best kept secret of the twentieth century: ‘America Won the Vietnam War!’

Best history book on the Vietnam War! A MUST READ BOOK!

Book Summary

This examination of the Vietnam War is not a detailed account of the battlefield struggle.  Instead, it looks at the goals and objectives as stated in the rhetoric of America’s leadership.  The criteria used for judgment are the public records of the achievements or failures of those goals and objectives.  This work is not only necessary for historical accuracy, but it is also imperative in the cause of justice for the brave men and women who fought and won the war.  To you, the unappreciated veterans of Vietnam, I say: “You may not have received a parade when you came home.  The media may continue to malign your name.  However, beginning here, it is my hope that you will see the record of your courageous achievements corrected and the history of your selfless service acknowledged.  In this book I reveal the best-kept secret of the twentieth century: ‘America Won the Vietnam War!’ or ‘How the Left Snatched Defeat from the Jaws of Victory.’”
