Summary:

The United States in the Vietnam War, 1954-1975 is an invaluable reference guide to the costly and controversial war the U.S. waged in Vietnam, over the course of five presidential administrations. Focusing not only on the conflict in Southeast Asia, but also on the tumult the war inspired on the domestic front, Peake provides an authoritative guide to the wide range of media to appear on the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. From collections of artwork and poetry about the soldiering experience, to journalistic accounts of battles and military training films, the entries consistently provide clear and concise descriptions, allowing the reader to easily identify the value of any particular resource. With revised and updated annotations, and over 150 new entries, this second edition of The United States in the Vietnam War, 1954-1975 is an invaluable reference tool for the teachers and students of the Vietnam War.
