This book id a seris of documents that examines the war. It gives the reader alot of insight into how decisons were made and the consequnces of these decisons. it a well rounded look into the war and its aftermath. The book deals with America involvment with the French until the fall of Saigion and the aftermath of the war. The section that deal with the North Vietnamese and there thoughts and roles are particlar strong. a few weak essay hold the book back from a five star rating. Highly recomended
