Sun Tzu's Art of War
The Art of War Strategies in the Vietnam War
Gen. Giap, the military mastermind behind victories over French and the American forces in Vietnam, was an avid student and practitioner of Sun Tzu’s ideas. Americas defeat here, more than any other event, brought Sun Tzu to the attention of American military thought leaders. It also emphasized the difficulty inherent with trying to liberate a country from itself that has caused America, since the Vietnam war, to be cautious about the commitment of troops to other conflicts.
