Though three decades old, the legacy of the 10,000-day war between Vietnam and the United States stills resonates in both countries and for the millions on both sides whose lives were forever touched by the conflict. In defense of the Domino Theory, the United States brought all its considerable military might to bear on a small, largely rural nation half a world away. The US spent $145,000,000 at 1974 prices, her aircraft dropped 8 million tons of bombs, and her armed forces suffered 46,370 fatalities. The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong accounted for 900,000 dead. This illustrated history documents every aspect of the war, from the role of the French, through all major actions, and up to the fall of South Vietnam. The book strives to understand not only the causes, but also the war's lasting legacy. Over 250 color and b/w photos bring the conflict to life again after all these years have passed.

Mediocre

ByDimitrioson August 30, 2006

Format: Hardcover

I was let down by this book which I purchased thinking that it will contain new information and unpublished photographs. Neither is true: the text is very poor in hard data, the chapters are too short, the maps average and most of the photographs have been published many times over the years. The serious student of the Vietnam War should better spent his or her money in the old but excellent multi-volume series of Boston Publishing "The Vietnam Experience" to get a wealth of photos and the analysis also. As far as the strategy of Vietnam War is concerned, Palmer's "Summon of the Trumpets" is unsurpassed.

The American Vietnam War in one book...

ByJ. Youngon December 26, 2001

Format: Hardcover

The best general account of our war in Vietnam that I have read. I recommend it without reservation. Excellent photographs, most of which I have not seen elsewhere, and a surprisingly low price. I served as an infantryman in Vietnam, and I am gratified to find an even-handed and understanding narrative by two noted military writers. Thank you, Dr. McNab and Dr. Wiest!

Excellent!

ByAmazon Customeron October 27, 2000

Format: Hardcover

This book hits the nail on the head. The information in this book really shows what an awful blot on US history the Vietnam War really was.
