In the text and discussion thread a few weeks about following the death of William Westmoreland, I recommended Lewis Sorley’s book A Better War, but demurred that Mac Owens should have the last word about Sorley and Vietnam books in general.

Comes now Mac to the rescue, with a review of Sorley’s follow up work on the same subject, which comes to the same conclusion I proposed: Creighton Abrams very nearly had the Vietnam War won by the early 1970s.
