The Vietnam War has remained controversial since its onset. This riveting history includes a clear discussion of the roots of U.S. involvement in Indochina in the days just after World War II and explores the varied and complex motives behind America's effort to halt the spread of communism in Asia. From President Dwight Eisenhower's decision to provide aid to South Vietnam to thwart further Communist advances in 1954 to President Lyndon B. Johnson's decision to commit combat troops in 1965 to the Tet Offensive of 1968 and beyond, Vietnam War covers this conflict in which more than 58,000 Americans died.Book Details
