Amazing Vietnam War Resource from Beginning to EndBy ManicPanicThis is exactly the type of book you want to read about Vietnam - in the words of those who were there; whether soldier or reporter. It contains articles written by the media and excerpts from soldiers memoirs in chronological order from the start of the war until the fall of Saigon. (FYI - There is little here from a directly Vietnamese point of view; though there are some who write very sympathetically of their plight.)This tome (it's over 800 pages of densely packed information and narration; but doled out in 5-10 page excerpts which make great reading) covers everything from the first days of aerial bombing (letters home from one of the first pilots over there) to the African-American experience in Vietnam; to the desolation of those involved when Saigon fell.Because this is a compilation of actual stories from the Vietnam Conflict you could use it's wealth of information (and sources) to build a case for any position or point of view. It would be an excellent source for research on the Vietnam War; steeped with original quotes and overflowing with the genuine feelings and experiences of those who were there.Highly Recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
