Vietnam and America: The Most Comprehensive Documented History of the Vietnam War

The Vietnam anti-war movement is documented as well as the original correspondence with Ho Chi Minh for why he was forced to become a military dictator. There is so much that is controversial about the war that it belies belief in good government but this book tries to give the basics in selected official statements. Westmoreland, LBJ, Martin Luther King, Jr., Nixon, Giap, as well as others are given voice to a sad chapter in the US's longest military engagement until the war in Iraq-Afghanistan. Most people will not appreciate the investment that America put into Vietnam but the families of the soldiers serving there still do.
