Summary:

"Men versus myth" is a study of veterans of the Vietnam War and how their lives since the war belie the 'victim' myth. "The new diaspora" is a study of South Vietnamese refugees, now Vietnamese Americans, and their attempts to maintain links with their heritage. "How we won the war" describes the allied 'victory' of 1968-1970. "How we lost the war" explains how the U.S. Congress, the media, and activists on the left betrayed the military victory.
