A Noble Cause? America and the Vietnam War,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Noble Cause?: America and the Vietnam War (Paperback)
This is the most complete book on the subject of some twenty I've read. It is also the most even-handed. It carries enough up-to-date statistics to be an almanac. The bibliography covers all of the most popular and the best books yet written, and his brief comments on them are a guide to which are worthwhile. The scholar will appreciate the thorough index. All this and it remains very readable. He covers the entire war, from the French prelude to the MIA fiasco. The book has so much history laid out in plain English, it amazed me that it was only 391 pages, including excellent maps. It is complete enough to be a text-book but it should be read by everyone who lived thru that era, veterans, protesters and bystanders.
