      1. This is an OK list (except for Kissinger book) but also represents an insanely American-centric view of war. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/15/books/20-must-read-books-on-the-vietnam-war.html?emc=edit_bk_20170915&nl=book-review&nlid=1811197&te=1&referer= …

      2. What Americans think of as the Vietnam War (say, 1954-1975) was mere phase in much larger Vietnamese war of independence.

      3. The Vietnamese war of independence began long before American intervention & arguably lasted till 1979, 4 years after USA defeat.

      4. The Vietnamese war of independence was truly global in scale, involving France, Japan, China, and Russia as well as USA

      5. One way to remedy the list would be to read a good biography of Ho Chi Minh:https://www.amazon.com/Ho-Chi-Minh-William-Duiker/dp/078688701X …

      6. General Giap's views of the war is another entry point:https://www.amazon.com/Military-Art-Peoples-Nguyen-Giap/dp/0853451931/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1505618010&sr=1-2&keywords=giap …

      Anyone list with Nguyen's Hanoi's war is a travesty, she did the work on the N.Vietnam archives, which really changes perception of them.

      8. Since the Times list gives short shrift to books focusing on the brutality of war, this is important addition:https://twitter.com/henryfarrell/status/909236962615316480 …

          9. George Herring's America's Longest War is a good one volume history that gives agency to both North & South Vietnamese.

          10. It occurs to me that NY TImes list makes same mistake as USA policy makers: doesn't take history & experiences of Vietnamese seriously.

          Curious what people think of NYT's list of 20 best Vietnam books. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/09/15/books/20-must-read-books-on-the-vietnam-war.html?emc=edit_bk_20170915&nl=book-review&nlid=1811197&te=1&referer= …

          12. As a friend just reminded me, the list contains none of the really critical scholarly literature: no Marilyn Young, no Kolko, no LaFeber
