About this title

Review:

"Simply terrific. If I were teaching the Vietnam War, I would rush to use it. The photos are extraordinary and the documents powerful. There is no better single volume on the war that makes the events and ideas come alive as this book does."--Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the UnitedStates "Comprised of first- and second-hand accounts of American policy in Vietnam during the 1960s. Its primary sources are held together chronologically with narrative. Political cartoons, U.S. government files, Vietnamese iconography, and song lyrics by Bruce Springsteen are among the book's most compelling and evocative elements."--Hampshire Gazette "Provides historials and students of history with a wealth of first-hand information missing from past conflicts. Those "primary sources."..provide the basis for a different way to teach history - allowing students to decide the meaning."--Longmeadow News "Simply terrific.
