Summary: America's War in Vietnam. In over a decade of bitter fighting, it claimed the lives of more than 58,000 American soldiers and beleaguered four U.S. presidents. More than forty years after America left Vietnam in defeat in 1975, the war remains controversial and divisive in both the United States and abroad.
The history of this era is complex; the cultural impact extraordinary. From dense jungles and terrifying firefights to chaotic helicopter rescues and harrowing escapes, each individual experience reveals a different facet of the war and moves us forward in time. Alternating with these chapters are profiles of key American leaders and events, reminding us of all that was happening at home during the war, including peace protests, presidential scandals, and veterans' struggles to acclimate to life after Vietnam.
