Summary
"An intimate history of the Vietnam War. All the major milestones are here--from the Gulf of Tonkin and the Tet Offensive to Hamburger Hill and the fall of Saigon--and we are able to listen in as three American presidents and their advisers search for a way to win--or to get out. But most of the voices that echo from this audiobook belong to less exalted men and women--those who fought in the war as well as those who fought against it, victims and victors, and Vietnamese from both north and south--willing for the first time to share their memories of the war as it really was"--from audiobook container
