4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for students 15-18 perhaps. Otherwise, useful if brief,
By phill carr (Stafford, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Vietnam War (Paperback)
The book introduces the reader to Vietnam, including a brief history of Vietnamese heritage and histories, through the Geneva Conflict into 1964. Here Hall divulges a little more, breaking up the conflict evenly, managing to retain some sence of proceedings in the hectic chaos. Most useful of all is the documents (23) at the end of the book, constantly cross-referenced. The book is perfect for an introduction for the vietnam war, and gives historical interpretations near the close. American faliure lies with the post-revisionists. Perfect for studentsm like myself. Stimulates further reading.
