| Summary: | More than forty years after it ended, the Vietnam War continues to haunt our country. We still argue over why we were there, whether we could have won and who was right and wrong in their response to the conflict. This volume draws on hundreds of interviews in America and Vietnam to give us the perspectives of people involved at all levels of the war, including U.S. and Vietnamese soldiers and their families, high-level officials in America and Vietnam, antiwar protestors, POWs and many more, seeking to understand why the war happened the way it did, and to clarify its complicated legacy. |
