Any good Vietnam TLs

Any good Vietnam TL that aren't a right winger's dream? Preferably with S. Vietnam still falling, just differently.

Fear and Loathing: Gumbo on the Campaign Trail does a great job to deconstruct right wing myths.

The "victory" in Vietnam wrecks the economy and is ultimately...pointless.

Not quite a timeline but one of the ARC Riders series (well two books) had time travellers from the 23rd Century USA (the USA having then diminished to a backward, second-rate country with no global influence) try and "fix" history by tampering with US involvement in Vietnam in 1968. They use mind control to engineer a coup d'etat in the US and have a group of US launch a ground invasion of North Vietnam in 1969. Then of course things Go Horribly Wrong, culminating in large scale use of tactical nuclear weapons and WW3.
There was some coverage of events in the rest of the world and more in the police-state USA.

I have one coming down the pike in a few weeks/months but it's a massively underdeveloped field. Especially because of a lot of myths on the left and right about the war. Once the whole thing was dressed up as an inevitable defeat because of whatever reasons one side or the other had it becomes difficult for people to feel like there's some way to have an AH because "nothing will change."
