An interesting account of the entire Vietnam War. This book covers the war from the very beginning when the U.S. had only 5 advisers in the country until the final chopper lifts off. A very well written book.
I actually bought this book off a street kid in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). It is obviously a knock off, but I still use as a reference. Tough read, but great information and reference on the war.
This book draws on records from both sides contains more orginal material and interviews with participants at all levles than any previos work on Vietnam War 1945-75 MM also prodicer of TV commentary same name
