Now in a thoroughly revised and updated edition, this classic history of the Vietnam War as seen by all sides takes into account the wealth of research and writing on the war since the book's original publication over two decades ago. Leading scholar William Turley combines original research, thorough knowledge of the literature, his own insight from many trips to Vietnam during and since the war, and sound interpretation into a succinct and well-crafted analysis that provides balanced treatment of both Vietnamese and American sides of the war.
