The Vietnam War
U.S. involvement in the conflict in Vietnam is a perennially hot topic with American readers—but equally fascinating is the war’s global scope. In The Vietnam War, Mark Atwood Lawrence draws upon the latest research in archives around the world to offer a superb account of a key moment in global history. While focusing largely on American involvement between 1965 and 1975, Lawrence offers a complete picture of all sides of the war, notably the rise of Vietnamese communism, the motives that drove the Vietnamese communists and their foreign allies and the war’s complex aftermath. More than anything else, for the reader of American-based accounts, this lucid, fast-moving account adds a fascinating new dimension to a familiar story.
