After having read Tuchman's *The March of Folly*, there were a lot of differing opinions about the start and conduct and outcome of the Revolutionary War than most learn in their standard history books. There was not, for example, universal support for the war from the Engalish side, just as there wasn't on the American side. "History" is very much a matter of "who" is writing it, as well as when and why. I think the North Vietnamese had irregulars as do the Kosovariaqs and Afghanlanders and a few others who tend to want to oppose their enemies and assorted adversaries. Read about the current complaint that the BBC has with just reporting news ... no one has won anything yet and there's deception and distortion by "who" has the media outlets.
