This war has generated more comment than any other happening since the Second World War, almost without exception uninformed and based either on the motion or political beliefs. Genesis of a Tragedy presents a brief history of the Vietnamese, describes their origins, their culture and more important influences which have affected their development over the centuries. It places the war in its historical context and shows it to be not simply a Communist versus anti-Communist struggle but a combination of latent historical forces and drives of the Vietnamese people. What these forces are and how they were used to serve Communist ends is the principal subject of the short book." -- from the rear book panel.
