Scorned by allies and enemies alike, the Army
of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) was one of the most maligned fighting
forces in modern history. Cobbled together by U.S. advisers from the
remnants of the French-inspired Vietnamese National Army, it was
effectively pushed aside by the Americans in 1965. When toward the end
of the war the army was compelled to reassert itself, it was too little,

In this first in-depth
history of the ARVN from 1955 to 1975, Robert Brigham takes readers into
the barracks and training centers of the ARVN to plumb the hearts and
souls of these forgotten soldiers. Through his masterly command of
Vietnamese-language sources—diaries, memoirs, letters, oral interviews,
and more—he explores the lives of ordinary men, focusing on troop morale

Offering
keen insights into ARVN veterans' lives as both soldiers and devout

their Communist enemies, and their own government. He describes the
conscription policy that forced these men into the army for indefinite
periods with a shameful lack of training and battlefield preparation and
examines how soldiers felt about barracks life in provinces far from
their homes. He also explores the cultural causes of the ARVN's
estrangement from the government and describes key military engagements
that defined the achievements, failures, and limitations of the ARVN as a
fighting force. Along the way, he explodes some of the myths about ARVN
soldiers' cowardice, corruption, and lack of patriotism that have made
the ARVN the scapegoat for America's defeat.
Ultimately,
as Brigham shows, without any real political commitment to a divided
Vietnam or vision for the future, the ARVN retreated into a subnational
culture that redefined the war's…
