5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent portable seminar on the Vietnam War, August 9, 2003
This review is from: A Companion to the Vietnam War (Blackwell Companions to American History) (Hardcover)
This is a first rate collection of definitive, state of the art essays on just about all aspects of the Vietnam War. Buzzanco and Young have put together an outstanding collection of essays on the Vietnam War by an impressive cast of the leading scholars in the field. The war itself may have been created by the "best and the brightest" of the Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon administrations, but this book shows that the "best and the brightest" can be brought together to do justice to a complicated and controversial period of American and world history. This book should be on the shelf of every serious student of the war and it certainly deserves a place in every public and college library. Buzzanco and Young deserve our thanks for collecting such an excellent crew of scholars.
Yours truly, John J. Fitzgerald Longmeadow, MA
Vietnam Veteran and student of the Vietnam War.
