So I'm looking for a definitive, relatively unbiased book on the Vietnam War (it's origins, politics, military affairs, etc). Any suggestions?

Start with the French-Indochina war, this is pretty damn good.

There aren't any. The history of the VWP, NFL, PRG, PLAF, PAVN and DRVN, RVN, ARVN, their cadre, citizens and subjects is badly underwritten due to the unwillingness of US historians to learn gooker.

Not comprehensive, but thorough, lucid, concise and tremendously important.

The Tet Offensive, David F. Schmitz

I've got an idea, why don't we trust politically active Americans whose profession is entirely unsuited to the writing of history, to write history.

Fuck off cuntface.

Taming Riki. Brilliantly written, unbiased but doesn't shy away from expounding on the true horrors of the war (on both sides)

I can't even understand what you're trying to say. You are a horrible writer.

Given that you think journalists write history, I think you're projecting.
