Publisher's Note A behind-the-scenes exposT of Kissinger's secret negotiations that brought an end to the Vietnam War draws on recently declassified American and North Vietnamese documents to argue that the final agreement to end the war, signed by Nixon in 1973, betrayed America's former South Vietnamese allies and left thousands of American soldiers dead in vain.
