With prose that is clear, concise, and enthralling, Russell Freedman presents a detailed overview of the Vietnam war. Beginning with the rise of communism in Vietnam and detailing the increase of American involvement, Freedman then explains why, twenty years later, an exit was so difficult. In addition to explaining the complex beginnings of the conflict through the catastrophic damage the war caused, Freedman concludes with a hopeful epilogue on modern Vietnam. This is a definitive resource for young history readers as well as anyone who wants a concise and authoritative understanding of the Vietnam War, exploring both the American and Vietnamese perspectives. Freedman chronicles the history leading up to the war and the unfolding events in Vietnam and in the US as increasing numbers of young men were sent into the jungles to fight. Coverage includes the French war in Vietnam, the rise of Ho Chi Minh, the fall of President Diem, the Tonkin Gulf, the Tet Offensive, the My Lai massacre, the bombing of Cambodia, and the fall of Saigon, as well as the US anti-war movement. The book includes nearly 100 historic photographs and illustrations, as well as candid photographs showcasing the state of Vietnam today. A glossary, source notes, bibliography and index are included. --$$cFrom amazon.com. 001357524 5218_ $$a1220L$$blexile 001357524 5213_ $$aSentence length: 5 (very hard)$$aWord frequency: 1 (very easy)$$bLexile. 001357524 5260_ $$aAccelerated Reader$$bMG+$$c8.8$$d5.0. 001357524 647_7 $$aVietnam War$$d(1961-1975)$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01431664 001357524 648_7 $$a1961-1975$$2fast 001357524 650_0 $$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$$vJuvenile literature. 001357524 650_1 $$aVietnam War, 1961-1975. 001357524 655_4 $$aYoung adult literature. 001357524 655_7 $$aLiterature.$$2lcgft 001357524 852__ $$bcmc$$hDS557.7$$i.F739 2016 001357524 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1357524$$pGLOBAL_SET 001357524 980__ $$aBIB 001357524 980__ $$aBOOK
