An outstanding one volume history of War in Vietnam. The photographs are outstanding. There is a chronology. I read this once, then reread it. Amazon reviewers criticized the author for being "anti American", but reading from the introduction it is clear that Young is anticipating the 2000s. Clearly the US has learned nothing.
