More than 40 years after it ended, the Vietnam War continues to haunt the U.S. They still argue over why they were there, whether they could have won, and who was right and wrong in their response to the conflict. When the war divided the country, it created deep political fault lines that continue to divide them today. Now, continuing in the tradition of their critically acclaimed collaborations, the authors draw on dozens of interviews in America and Vietnam to give the perspectives of people involved at all levels of the war: U.S. and Vietnamese soldiers and their families, high-level officials in America and Vietnam, antiwar protestors, POWs, and many more.
