Publisher's Synopsis
This is the first balanced account of the legal issues raised by the tactics and weapons used by the United States in the Vietnam War and of the individual responsibility of those who fought in and directed the war. Leading participants in the controversy over the war's conduct debate the issues raised when counterinsurgent forces use advanced means of warfare against insurgent forces with less sophisticated weaponry.
Originally published in 1975.
