Vietnam - The definitive oral history told from all sides - Over a Quarter of a Century has passed since the last American helicopter flew off the roof of the U.S. Embassy in Saigon. Only Now do we have the perspective to make a book like Vietnam Possible.
American author and Professor, Christian G.Appy has created a staggering and monumental oral history of the type that is created only once in a generation. The vivid accounts of 135 men and women span the entire history of the Vietnam conflict, from its murky origins in the 1940's to the chaotic fall of saigon in 1975. |
Thomas Powers (Author) - ' I thought the war in Vietnam would never end, and after it did I never wanted to hear or think of it again, until someone I trust told me to read this book. Christian Appy talked to 135 people who have never stopped trying to find words for the war, and there is no end to what you can learn from his book, if you will open it.'
Nelson De Mille (Author) - ' As a Vietnam combat veteran who partisipated in most of the major historical battles of 1968, I'm understandably ambivalent about reading Vietnam books. Vietnam is different. It is an even handed approach to a still controversial and divisive subject. The overall effect of listening to different voices on the same sore subject is eye-opening and revealing. At the end, I for one felt more than satisfied because I had reached a greater understanding of the event that changed my life and the life of a nation'. |
