Summary

More than forty years after it ended, the Vietnam War continues to haunt our country. This book draws on dozens of interviews in America and Vietnam to give us the perspectives of people involved at all levels of the war: U.S. and Vietnamese soldiers and their families, high-level officials in America and Vietnam, antiwar protestors, POWs, and many more. The book plunges us into the chaos and intensity of combat, even as it explains the rationale that got us into Vietnam and kept us there for so many years. A companion to the series by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick
