Description
The Vietnam War by Geoffrey C. Ward and Ken Burns is an intimate history of America's least-understood conflict. More than forty years have passed since its end, yet its memory continues to shape the national psyche. This magisterial account traces the conflict that dogged three American presidents and their advisers, from the Gulf of Tonkin and the Tet Offensive to Hamburger Hill and the fall of Saigon. The voices that echo from these pages belong not only to those who fought in the war but also to those who opposed it, both victims and victors willing to share their memories of Vietnam as it really was. This engrossing history sheds new light on a conflict that remains shrouded in mystery, offering a nuanced understanding of its complexities and consequences. A comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration, The Vietnam War is a significant milestone in the study of America's most divisive conflict.
