Good Collection of Vietnam War Articles and Book Excerpts

This is a good collection of articles and book excerpts covering why the U.S. got involved in Indochina, what happened on the battlefield, the role of the press, the successes and failures of the anti-war movement and the long-term consequences of the war. There are mostly good articles and excerpts and only a few that didn't carry their weight. Many of the excerpts gave me a sneak preview of important books on the Vietnam war for future reading.
