Publisher's summary

Explora la fascinante historia de la guerra de Vietnam.

La Guerra de Vietnam representó un hito no solo en la historia estadounidense y vietnamita, sino también a nivel internacional. No fue solo una batalla entre dos naciones, sino entre dos ideologías, dos estrategias militares y una lucha por los corazones y las mentes de dos poblaciones nacionales muy diferentes.

Pocos conflictos en la historia global simbolizan tanto como Vietnam. Desde la movilización por los derechos civiles hasta el papel de los medios en la guerra, la Guerra de Vietnam fue única en el sentido de que no podía considerarse solo como un asunto militar, sino que trascendió a todas las áreas de la sociedad vietnamita y estadounidense. La palabra Vietnam describe una era de la historia, no solo una guerra aislada en una pequeña nación en el Sudeste Asiático. Es la lente a través de la cual la América y el Vietnam de hoy deben ser interpretados. Pocos conflictos han dado forma o darán forma al mundo tanto como lo hizo la Guerra de Vietnam.

This will make a great reference book.

It was long overdue. Intimate in the sub-title is right on. This (my) country will never really care to remember the war until we (the veterans) are long gone. This will make a great reference book for generations.

Essential reference work.

Companion to the excellent documentary series by Ken Burns. Illuminating, tragic account of an important period of U.S. and Vietnamese histories. Burns takes advantage of access to new documents and film from the period. Relevant today and tomorrow.

It was hard time for all of us.

To comprehend, and the author is there saying to kill our men (American soldiers) as they are murders, as if they weren't there selves, reminds why i hate this woman so bad, we can trade her for the author who opened a lot of channels for us but jane closed a lot of doors for us mm Augusta Maine.

I would highly recommend the book

I learned a lot. I was in Cambodia in 1993. I could see at this time the consequences of the war.

Story goes back to WWI history.

Great book the story goes back to WWI and all the mistakes our Politicians have made and continue to make ** Must reading for the uninformed"

I would highly recommend the book,

My only complaint was that the role of the Army infantry was minimized. I would highly recommend the book, especially to the generations post Vietnam.

Well written and thought provoking.

The book provided an outstanding coverage of the political environment before and after the US direct involvement. It was a little lean on tactical coverage of military activity although there are other books that cover troop activity and movement. I felt like it was a balanced coverage whether or not US combat troops should have been deployed.

Learned a lot...

I learned a lot that was far beyond my personal experience. Personally I would have liked more on the war’s legacy but one cannot have everything and what one does have here is a superb one-volume history of the war which is much more substantial than the coffee-table book which it appears to be at first sight.
