Overview

This new Seminar Study is a concise and accessible introduction to the Vietnam War. Although the book begins by exploring the origins of the conflict, the main focus is on the war itself, taking the story through to 1975 and North Vietnam's victory. A number of key issues are examined including the motivation behind the United States entering the war; the military strategies employed; the role of the media; the rise of domestic opposition and the war's impact in both the US and Vietnam. The main text is supported by some fascinating source material in the Documents Section and a range of additional tools including a guide to characters, a chronology of the main events, a glossary of terms.
