Portrait of a Pulitzer Prize-Winner: Frederik Logevall and "Embers of War"
Vietnam War
"Embers of War" by Frederik Logevall
Watch this YouTube video for seven minutes on the embers of war, a book by Harvard professor; in the seven minutes you get the whole overview of why the French and Americans failed in Indo China. Seven minutes!
