This was a good starter book to read with my 9 year old who had questions about the war.

[Amit Tiwary · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very good introduction of an extremely complex war for children.

[Klinton Saha · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's all about a conflict between capitalism and communism.
And a cold war between Russia and the USA.

[Shelli · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an informative peek into the events leading up to the Vietnam War, some of the unique struggles soldiers encountered with the Vietcong, views of the war, and it’s devastating conclusion. A good read for intermediate and high school age students, for additional material with their classroom textbook.
