The Vietnam War
An Intimate History
[New York] : Penguin Random House Audio Publishing, [2017]
Format: Audiobook on CD
Edition: Abridged.
Description: 8 audio discs (10 hr.) : CD audio, digital ; 4 3/4 in.
Now, continuing in the tradition of their critically acclaimed collaborations, the authors draw on dozens and dozens of interviews in America and Vietnam to give listeners the perspectives of people involved at all levels of the war: US and Vietnamese soldiers and their families, high-level officials in America and Vietnam, antiwar protestors, POWs, and many more. The book plunges listeners into the chaos and intensity of combat, even as it explains the rationale that got us into Vietnam and kept us there for so many years. Rather than taking sides, the book seeks to understand why the war happened the way it did, and to clarify its complicated legacy.
