About This Item
From back cover: "The complexity of four decades of the Vietnam War"
"Arranged chronologically and in counterpoint, this unique book presents all conceivable forms of oral and written documentation and illuminates the United States' involvement in her longest and most divisive war. The attitudes and experiences of foot soldiers and generals, hawks and doves, politicians and protesters, writers, spies, and pilots are graphically revealed in news releases, excerpts from fiction, poems, graffiti, speeches, intelligence reports, personal diaries, songs, official memos, and more. All viewpoints are included: American, French, British, Cambodian, Thai, Lao, and South and North Vietnamese.
Condition: Fair. Front and back covers have rubbing/bumping, creases, and much wear on edges and corners. There is a small puncture/dent near the bottom front that affects approximately 50 pages in the bottom margin. There is some age tanning around page edges and pages are lightly tanned. Some pages have some edge wear, but quite a bit of corner wear and some have creases. Text appears to be unmarked. Overall a good reading copy.
706 pages including Index.
