My father, brother and I all served in Vietnam. Dad served in 1967-1968, my brother in 1968 and I in 1970. Our experiences changed our lives forever both negatively and positively. The book is an excellent read and refreshed my memory of those locations in which we served. I wanted a good and accurate book to pass down to my grandchildren especially now that people are trying to rewrite out history. This is an excellent reference book for them.
An excellent, thorough coverage of this terrible war.
I thought this large, heavy, thick book was really superb. The multitude of photos really brought back emotional feelings within me. Everything was covered in this thorough history of the war in Vietnam. Nothing was left out. The photos really touched me. Of course, everyone has their opinion about the war ~ I'm just so glad that the Smithsonian put this large text together in a most objective and fair view.
Very informative
Great book as its written by the Smithsonian institution. Very open and covers both the Vietnamese and the United states. It also covers other conflicts tied to Vietnam like Laos and Cambodia. It's very informative for a picture book having over 150 pages.
Fascinating!
I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday along with the World War I and World War II volumes. He has spent hours engrossed in them! They are beautiful and informative and fascinating books. Recommend!

This one is a great book in a good series as I was in the Vietnam War, HOWEVER, someone in the proofreading department screwed up BIG TIME! Page 344, bottom of 4th column above left side of "The Wall", a photo caption states: "In Memoriam a crowd gathers at the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in November 1982. The two acre wall is inscribed with the name of every member of the US Armed Forces who served in the War." Wrong!!!!! It would be a much bigger wall if that were true! These are just the names of all the Service members KILLED in the Vietnam War (or died later from wounds suffered)! This needs to be corrected! I still gave it 4 stars, because I believe the Reviews are for the Sellers, and I had no problem with the sale and shipping of the book! Dan Arnes, Vietnam 1970-1972

Great documentary book about history of vietnam war, gave as a gift.
Interesting... so much we didnt know.
Great book. An investment & interesting read for sure. My son is very interested in this as a topic and has worked on it in school, so for background information, a great incite to his knowledge. It's a big book but worth it - my son is 12.
