Overview

A concise history of the Vietnam War, explaining the conflict itself and examining experiences of combatants. From its origins as a post-colonial era conflict in the 1940s, the Vietnam War (1955-1975) became an epoch-defining event. This concise history gives a complete overview of the war, from its origins to its conclusion. It covers the main sequence of events, including battles such as the Tet Offensive and the My Lai massacre, and how the war gained such a foothold in popular culture, one that still resonates today. It also looks at what it was like to fight for the ordinary 'grunt' soldiers, pitched into a complex, high-risk conflict in an alien environment. 30 b/w illustrations
