A great but general overview of American involvment in Vietnam

This book is an entertaining read. It is short, fast paced, and gives a fantastic overview of how America became involved in the war. It begins by explaining the French occupation of Indochina, and ends far after the American war there ended. That being said, this book is VERY general, and goes into little detail about the HOWS and WHYS of the war. You can not read this book and know all there is to know. You need more than one source. This book should be combined with a video series called Vietnam: A Television History, and a couple of other books to get the full picture. For people seriously interested in the WHYS of American involvement, focus on the years JFK took office until about 1966, this will give you all of the reasons you need.
