Description
The Vietnam War 1956-75 by Andrew Wiest is a concise and fully illustrated introduction to America's most divisive war. The US entered the conflict with confidence in its Cold War doctrines, but the war proved to be far from what was expected. Dr Wiest examines how the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces employed guerrilla tactics based on Mao Zedong's theories, while the US responded with overwhelming firepower. This updated edition features full-colour maps and new images throughout, providing an accessible introduction to this pivotal event in American history.
