About the Book


"The Vietnam War: Why the United States Failed" provides valuable insight into the war that no other author has provided. It reveals a highly effective automated battlefield that employed mechanical ambushes in the latter years of the war. In order to maintain operational security during the war of this automated battlefield, infantry troops in the field kept its use from journalists and out of the media. Therefore, the public and only a few within the military are aware of how effective it was in Vietnam.

The commander of one of the most successful infantry companies during the Vietnam War makes a strong case that the war was winnable if God would have provided our leaders the wisdom and creativity to employ the correct tactics.

"The Vietnam War" explains why the most powerful military in the world failed in the Vietnam War. It explains why and how God intervened in both victory and defeat within the war.
Uncover both the flawed tactics that led to America's defeat, and the tactics that would have led to victory if used throughout the war.

Learn the most important lesson from the Vietnam War and what America must do to prevent another similar defeat. "The Vietnam War" provides evidence of the power of Jesus Christ and serves as a warning to America to return to the Bible as its moral compass.
About the Author:

JIM SCHMIDT is a retired US Army Special Forces lieutenant colonel with over twenty-six years of active military duty. Commissioned an infantry officer, Schmidt served a tour in Vietnam in 1966-67 as a rifle platoon leader and again in 1970-71 as an infantry company commander. The infantry company he commanded in Vietnam for six months killed or captured approximately sixty enemy soldiers without losing any of its own - a success only a few (if any) other infantry companies achieved in Vietnam.

After returning from Vietnam, Schmidt served in various Special Forces, Infantry, and Joint Special Operations positions. As chief of operations for Special Operations Command, Pacific and J-3 for United States Pacific Command's on-call Joint Task Force for critical and sensitive contingency operations from 1987 to 1990, he was not only instrumental in the development of Special Operation Forces concepts for regional contingencies and general war, but he was also instrumental in the planning and employment of combat forces during actual crisis responses in the Pacific theater. Many of Schmidt's concepts have become doctrine within United States Special Operations Command and have proven effective throughout the world.

LTC Schmidt holds a Bachelor of Science degree in business from Southeast Missouri State College and an MBA from the University of Missouri. Jim and wife, Joyce, live in Fort Collins, Colorado, and have two grown daughters, a grown son, and nine grandchildren.
