Appy teaches at U. Massachusetts, Amhurst. He is considered a "...widely known as a leading expert on the Vietnam experience". In another article he relates how he has "educated" hundreds of students in his VN classes. Read the attached review for a less than favorable view of his intellectual expertise and integrity. |

It is very disturbing to reflect upon the fact that this book is otherwise praised to the heavens and Herring is deemed a "god of Viet Nam studies". I actually heard him praised in just these terms at a VN conference. With hopes you can forgive crass language I think this book is a piece of sh-t, and sloppy amateur history. |
