5.0 out of 5 stars
Very informative and superbly written., February 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The War in Vietnam (Hardcover)
Dr. Edmonds displays a vast knowledge of the Vietnam War both in the classroom and in print. He is excited about this topic and what he teaches. His theories are based on fact, not fiction, and are well supported. The book displays this knowledge. He talks about cause and effect relationships, propaganda, the history of Vietnam, and the people. He talks about their customs, culture, and how they relate to other nations. It is well-written and easy to understand. The content is well explained, easy to follow, and connective. Everyone who shows an interest in the Vietnam War should read this book. If possible, talk to the professor himself as well. The knowledge one gains from him, however well-educated, will surprise you.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A brief, well balanced guide for high school students., March 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The War in Vietnam (Hardcover)
An excellent introduction to the war we don't talk about, providing an overview, biographies of principal characters, reprints of important historical documents, and an annotated bibliography. In an age when most history is learned through movies (and WWII seems more "real" than Vietnam)the student with a real desire to understand the Vietnam conflict couldn't find a better place to start.
