The Vietnam Wars

The first book to give equal weight to the Vietnamese and American sides of the Vietnam war."A first-rate synthesis of the vast literature on the Vietnam War which effectively interweaves U.S. involvement in Indochina with relevant developments on the domestic front in a way that makes both more understandable."--George MC. Kahin, Cornell University"Unmatched in its striking juxtaposition of the Vietnamese revolution with American Cold War policy and ideology, and in its sensitivity to the human dimension of the conflict on both sides."--Michael H. Hunt, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
