The Vietnam War Day by Day - Hardcover
Synopsis
The hardcover reference titles in the Day by Day series examine the evolution of conflicts and wars in a chronological timeline, from the first skirmish to the last battle—and everything in between. These books are a historical companion to each major war in the nineteenth and twentieth century. The fate of soldiers, battalions, armies, can change in the blink of an eye—with this comprehensive book readers can follow the conflicting sides in their strategy, weaponry, and policies.
This chronological approach to the conflict allows the reader to see at a glance the key operations on land, at sea, and in the air. The individual stories of events during the war appear as separate articles written as lively newspaper accounts, using the terminology and phrases used in the war, such as "Charlie", search and destroy, and body counts. In this way the reader is able to relive the ebb and flow of the war, while the contemporary images complement the entries and bring this unique conflict to life. In addition, the full color maps allow the reader to follow the course of the campaigns and battles with ease. This book also contains boxes on specific aspects of the war, such as strategy and tactics, decisive weapons, and regional politics. The authoritative text is complemented by over 400 photographs that illuminate one of the most long running and tragic conflicts of the twentieth century.
