Kornow's review of Vietnam: A
History : When I first published my history of the Vietnam war in 1983, I thought that it
might be modestly successful. I was wrong. It has since sold about 1.5 million
copies, and I continue to revise it. This demonstrates, I think, the extent to
which the Vietnam experience remains in our minds as one of the most dramatic -
and tragic - episodes in American history.
