About this title

From Booklist:

This pricey but useful addition to the Defining Moments series collects, in one meaty volume, a narrative history of the war's climactic decade, 14 primary-source documents, and 9 biographies of political and military leaders. End matter includes a 2,300-year chronology and multimedia resource lists. The book's infrequent illustrations (and their mediocre quality), along with the text's formal language and tone, won't draw browsers, but researchers will welcome this one-stop resource. Collections that lack the space to offer multiple Vietnam titles may want to give this title special consideration. For more books on the subject, see the Core Collection feature, "The Vietnam War: Fiction/The Vietnam War: Fact" in Booklist, April 15, 2006. John Peters
