## Description

“ Kissinger’s Betrayal is arguably the most important single source published in decades for understanding why America went to war in Vietnam." — Prof. Robert F. Turner , SJD, former president of the U.S. Institute of Peace, author of Vietnamese Communism: Its Origins and Development , and co-founder of the Center for National Security Law at the University of Virginia WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IN VIETNAM? For five decades, conventional wisdom about the Vietnam War has been that it was lost because it never could have been won. South Vietnam was doomed to defeat. The American effort was a foreign intrusion forever incapable of winning the “hearts and minds” of the South Vietnamese people. But what if South Vietnam was defeated not because of its own shortcomings but because it was betrayed by a secret deal made behind its back? Deeply researched and compellingly argued, Kissinger’s Betrayal uses once-secret files of the American ambassador to South Vietnam and long-overlooked documents from official government archives—including the foreign ministry of the Soviet Union—to reveal for the first time how Henry Kissinger personally and secretly schemed to irrevocably compromise South Vietnam’s chances for survival. Without informing his president, other American leaders, or US allies in South Vietnam, Kissinger unilaterally made a horrendous—and ultimately completely unnecessary—diplomatic concession that allowed Communist North Vietnam to leave its army inside South Vietnam and then freely resume its war of invasion and conquest at a time of its own choosing. In an unprecedented account, historian and global executive director of the Caux Round Table for Moral Capitalism Stephen B. Young provides new insight into both genuine Vietnamese Nationalism and the French colonialism that marginalized and decentered the right of the Vietnamese people to live freely in an independent country of their own choosing. Kissinger’s Betrayal reveals a fresh and more truthful history of the Vietnam War that restores dignity to America as well as the people of Vietnam.

Review: Let’s return truth to the history! - Thank you Dr Young for your book. By the years you worked in Vietnam, and through the US declassified documents you have exposed the malicious tricks and pressures that Kissinger applied to force the South Vietnam president Nguyễn văn Thiệu to sign the 1973 Paris accord in which it allowed the North VN communist forces to stay in South VN after the American forces withdrew from South VN. This allowed condition had killed the South VN. Kissinger cheated the president Nixon to gain what he wanted and became a brilliant diplomatist of America! Your book unveiled the true face of Kissinger and helped the readers understanding the truth why the South VN people lost their country in the US contemporary history. After reading this book, I bought two more as gifts to my friends who were a former airborn officer of ARVN and other was a PhD professor . Dr Young, people of South VN would not forget your lenient heart .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best book about Vietnam War
*by V***N on July 19, 2023*

The book is well researched. Professor Young did an excellent job explaining how Henry Kissinger and the anti-war movement --which included Hanoi John and Hanoi Jane -- helped the north Vietnamese communists conquered South Vietnam. As Professor Young pointed out the book, Henry Kissinger has never shown any remorse for what he did to the people of South Vietnamese; neither did Hanoi John and Hanoi Jane. As for Hanoi John and Hanoi Jane, these two should have been charged with treason and deported to Hanoi along time ago. This book also covers a lot of meetings between 1968-1972 and how the decisions made at these meetings led to the fall of Saigon.
