The Vietnam War: 1964-1975

By Ian Westwell

Book Overview

In the early 1960s American troops went to war in Vietnam. They didn't leave again until 1975. But the seeds of the conflict had been sown decades earlier in Indochina, the area of the world now called Southeast Asia. The Vietnam War explains in simple terms why the war started and how it was fought. Day-by-day accounts describe how the war unfolded, while pictures show what it was like to be there. The book includes biographies of key people on both sides of the conflict and vivid descriptions of important battles. Eyewitness accounts add a personal voice to the story.
