Comments from the dust jacket: "In Lost Victory, Colby argues that mistakes made in the Oval Office and the Pentagon, including support for the overthrow of President Ngo Din Diem, the decision to use massive military force, and the failure to develop a political strategy in the countryside, brought chaos to Vietnam and forfeited the support of the American people.
