The Home Front In The Vietnam War (The American Experience in Vietnam)

By William Thomas

Book Overview

Initially, the majority of American people supported the war in Vietnam. As the conflict escalated, however, more and more conscripted U.S. troops fought-and died-in what many felt was an unwinnable war. Nightly news reports brought the bloody reality of combat into America's homes, and millions protested U.S. involvement. Returning to a changed world after U.S. forces were withdrawn, many veterans found themselves rejected and scorned by the country that had sent them to fight. Book jacket.
