Synopsis
The Vietnamese declaration of independence initiated a chain of events that involved the United States in the longest war in American history, a war fought in the jungles of Southeast Asia and within the American conscience. This anthology of speeches presents a debate about the Vietnam War that began before the war and continued for more than half a century.

Reviews
Grade 8 Up-After an introductory overview, this collection of speeches provides insight into the lengthy conflict. It opens with an excerpt from Ho Chi Minh's Declaration of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945 and ends with Bill Clinton's "A Declaration of Interdependence between the United States and Vietnam" during his November 2000 visit. The chronologically arranged entries cover all phases of the conflict and the American speakers represent viewpoints from across the ideological spectrum, from Barry Goldwater to Martin Luther King, Jr. There are only three speeches from Vietnamese leaders. Introductory information places each selection in context. While these speeches will help researchers understand the ideological and policy basis of American and Vietnamese conduct of the war, this book is very similar in content to William Dudley's The Vietnam War: Opposing Viewpoints (Greenhaven, 1997), which contains four of the same speeches. Five other military and civilian leaders are also represented in both books and their speeches or documents are similar in tone or content. This volume is a good additional source for primary documents for those libraries that do not own the earlier title.
