| | Working in the archives of primary sources, Moyar has reported new information that other historians have overlooked. He found that every country in Asia aside from China's allies supported American intervention in Vietnam. Many of those countries made previously unknown offers of combat troops and military aid. American intervention in Vietnam persuaded the Indonesian military to oust the pro-Communist President [[Sukarno]]; the Indonesia rollback was one of America's greatest victories in the [[Cold War]]. | | Working in the archives of primary sources, Moyar has reported new information that other historians have overlooked.
