The Vietnam War Experience

1957-1974

Plot

The first major war to be graphically and extensively photographed and filmed, the Vietnam War exposed the true horrors of war to a watching world, and shocked an entire nation with its needless sacrifice. Using these amazing images and unique facsimiles of actual documents, THE VIETNAM EXPERIENCE chronologically brings to life the lead up to the conflict, the major battles and campaigns, and the aftermath. The included audio CD will feature dramatic first-hand accounts from Vietnam veterans. Including the defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, the use of Napalm and Agent Orange, the Tet Offensive in 1968, the Battle of Hamburger Hill, and climaxing with the Fall of Saigon in 1975, this book brings to life the experiences of ordinary soldiers, at the same time putting their stories into global and political context.
