Herrington/Silence as Weapon in Vietnam
Number of pages:
4
ABSTRACT:
A 4 page book review. Herrington served on the front lines during the Vietnam War, not in combat, but rather in the war for the "hearts and minds" of the Vietnamese people. In his text, he describes the logistics of his mission, which was the "identification and destruction of the Vietcong shadow government" (41). Herrington offers an insightful commentary that examines the Vietnam War, not through massive troops movements or overall strategies of, but on the microcosmic level that shows the war at the grassroots level. His fascinating analysis suggests lessons that could greatly aid American leaders in the current war in Iraq. No additional sources cited.
