Publishers Description: A landmark work
The most complete account to date of the Vietnam tragedy. The Washington Post Book WorldThis monumental narrative clarifies, analyzes, and demystifies the tragic ordeal of the Vietnam war. Free of ideological bias, profound in its undertsanding, and compassionate in its human portrayals, it is filled with fresh revelations drawn from secret documents and from exclusive interviews with participants-French, American, Vietnamese, diplomats, military commanders, high government officials, journalists, nurses, workers, and soldiers. Originally published a companion to the Emmy-winning PBS series, Karnows defining book is a precursor to Ken Burnss ten-part forthcoming documentary series, The Vietnam War. A History puts events and decisions into such sharp focus that we come to understand and make peace with a convulsive epoch of our recent history.
