Mediocre
I was let down by this book which I purchased thinking that it will contain new information and unpublished photographs. Neither is true: the text is very poor in hard data, the chapters are too short, the maps average and most of the photographs have been published many times over the years. The serious student of the Vietnam War should better spent his or her money in the old but excellent multi-volume series of Boston Publishing "The Vietnam Experience" to get a wealth of photos and the analysis also. As far as the strategy of Vietnam War is concerned, Palmer's "Summon of the Trumpets" is unsurpassed.

The American Vietnam War in one book...
The best general account of our war in Vietnam that I have read.I recommend it without reservation.Excellent photographs, most of which I have not seen elsewhere, and a surprisingly low price.I served as an infantryman in Vietnam, and I am gratified to find an even-handed and understanding narrative by two noted military writers.Thank you, Dr. McNab and Dr. Wiest!

Excellent!
This book hits the nail on the head. The information in this book really shows what an awful blot on US history the Vietnam War really was. ... Read more
