5.0 out of 5 stars ideal for art or history teachers, November 20, 2008

This review is from: As Seen by Both Sides: American and Vietnamese Artists Look at the War (Paperback)

This is an ideal book to share with your class when discussing this chapter of history. There is a very wide range of reactions to the war, and an equally wide range of art styles and media. The short interviews with the artists, many of whom were combatants, are direct, not the usual elitist critical blather.
