History of War Bookazine History of War Story of the Vietnam War Second Edition Back Issue

The morning of 8 March 1965 would change Vietnam forever, transforming a ruthless civil war into an international struggle the moment US troops raced ashore along the coast of Da Nang in the North. Neither country would ever be the same again.
Spanning two decades, the Vietnam War grew from an internal battle for a nation’s destiny into a political and military catastrophe for the mightiest power on Earth. But what caused the war, who was waging it, and why did the US feel compelled to intervene in a conflict thousands of miles away in Southeast Asia when its allies refused to do so?
From the birth of Vietnam and its fight for independence to the Tet Offensive, widespread protests against US involvement and the Fall of Saigon, Story of the Vietnam War explores the shaping of a people and their homeland and the battles that would come to define it. Including the key players behind the engagements that decided the war and an in-depth look at the weapons and tactics they used, this history will immerse you in one of the most controversial chapters in the story of America, a tale of death and devastation that still haunts the corridors of the White House and the villages of Vietnam to this day.
