The Vietnam War

About this book

This work places America's most controversial conflict in a broad, international context that reflects the experiences of North and South Vietnam, China, and European nations, as well as the United States. Featuring newly available material, this brief collection of primary-source documents includes several never-before published and freshly translated diplomatic documents, social and cultural commentaries, memoirs, cartoons, posters, and photos. Here the author enables students to compare and contrast different vantage points on the war and to appreciate the conflict in all of its complexity. -- From publisher's website.
