"Detailed descriptions of each stage in the conflict, from "Operation Passage to Freedom" to the evacuation of the US embassy in Saigon, are enhanced by the stories of those who witnessed the events unfolding. With hundreds of images and a compelling narrative, this newly updated edition of THE VIETNAM WAR is a stirring visual record of the suffering, sacrifice, and heroism in one of the longest US conflicts of the 20th century."--Back cover.
