⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Vietnam Experience: A War Remembered
I really enjoyed this volume because it brings together the many ways the Vietnam War has been remembered and understood. The visuals are powerful, especially the sections on memorials and how people continue to honor those who served. I also liked the focus on the cultural impact of the war, including the films, books, and music that shaped how later generations viewed the conflict. The book gives a thoughtful look at how memory, history, and emotion all come together when a nation tries to make sense of a difficult war.

Good account of the war's short-term legacy and its affect on US soldiers and civilians, mainly on their psyche.
