In this book, Joseph G. Morgan examines the career of Wesley Fishel, a political scientist who vigorously supported American intervention in the Vietnam War, what he deemed a "a great, and tragic, American experiment.". Morgan demonstrates how Fishel continued to champion the prospect of an independent South Vietnam, even when Vietnamese resistance and infighting among Americans undermined this effort. Morgan also analyzes how opponents questioned Fishel’s scholarly integrity and his academic collaboration with the US government in implementing Cold War policies.

Joseph G. Morgan is associate professor of history at Iona College.
