The Vietnam War tore America apart culturally and ideologically—and this dramatic guide captures all the suffering, sacrifice, and heroism that resulted from that conflict.

Featuring 12 rare facsimile documents—including personal letters, ID cards, and political memos—it explores the highs and lows of the world’s first televised war through the eyes of those who fought, from the commanding generals to the ordinary soldiers on the ground and in the air.
