Sinopse

**Losing the Peace: A Turn Towards War in Vietnam** takes a fresh look at the Vietnam War, arguing that it was an unnecessary tragedy that could have been avoided. Drawing on extensive research and a wealth of primary sources, this book challenges the prevailing myth that the outbreak of large-scale fighting in 1965 was inevitable.

The author meticulously examines the decisions and actions of key players on both sides of the conflict, revealing how timidity, miscalculations, and a stubborn refusal to negotiate led to the escalation of the war. The book sheds light on the missed opportunities for peace, the flawed assumptions that guided US policymakers, and the devastating consequences of their choices.

**Losing the Peace** offers a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of the Vietnam War, avoiding simplistic explanations and easy scapegoats. It provides a deeper understanding of the complexities of the conflict, the challenges of nation-building in a post-colonial world, and the limits of military power.

This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the Vietnam War, its causes, and its enduring legacy. It is a powerful reminder of the dangers of hubris, the importance of diplomacy, and the need for a more nuanced and thoughtful approach to foreign policy.

    A full account of the Luzon campaign, from the planning stages to the surrender of the Japanese general Yamashita.
    
    The Luzon campaign of 1945 was the longest island campaign of the Pacific War, lasting from January 1945 to September 1945, and only ended with the surrender of Imperial Japan. It is often overlooked or mentioned in passing by most histories of that war, yet hundreds of thousands of Americans and Japanese fought in some of the worst conditions imaginable for eight months to clear Luzon of the invaders.
    
    This full account of the Luzon campaign stretches from planning stages to the end of the war and the surrender of over 50,000 Japanese troops under the noted Japanese general Yamashita. The landings at Lingayen Gulf, the Battle for Manila and the recapture of Corregidor are all included, as well as lesser-known battles for the summer capital of Baguio, the battle for Manila's water supply, constant jungle fighting, the raids to rescue Allied POWs, the recapture of Bataan, destruction of the only Japanese armored division to fight in the Pacific, American parachute drops on Corregidor and Aparri, and much more. Individual acts of heroism are highlighted as are the interactions among the senior commanders involved, including General MacArthur, General Krueger (6th Army) and General Eichelberger (8th Army). The book ends with the surrender of Imperial Japan and the end of the Luzon Campaign in September 1945.
