Encyclopedia of the Vietnam War

The Vietnam War was America's longest conflict, outlasting U.S. participation in the two world wars and the Korean War combined. This authoritative book separates the facts of the war from the polemics that engulfed them, and takes a fascinating look at the people, places, events, and ideas--both on the battlefield and the home front--of this confusing and contentious period. 564 articles. 13 maps. 210 illustrations.
