In his position as both soldier and as a scholar, the author exposes the inner workings of a military headquarters during wartime, and recounts the tensions of a command caught between the political imperatives of Washington and the deteriorating military situation on the ground. He also sheds new light on Nixon's "secret plan to end the war" while offering rare glimpses of military operations and decision making on the ground in Saigon.
