Recommended for gr. 6-12. A great introduction to the Vietnam War for students. Each 2-page spread covers a topic or occurrence in the events leading up to the war, the war itself, and the aftermath. One page has text, a Quick Facts box and a small picture, and the facing page is a full page photograph or map. The text is very readable. Topics include origins of the war, Agent Orange, the draft, various campaigns, the Pentagon Papers and Watergate, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. In addition to the table of contents and index, the book also contains a glossary, bibliography, a list of related web sites and an index. Highly recommended.
