Vietnam Era

This title presents the swirl of events that surrounded America's involvement in Vietnam, tracing the meeting of East and West--from the bloody French-Indochina War to the American entry into Vietnam, from Johnson's escalation of American forces to Nixon's decision to bomb Cambodia, from America's final withdrawal to the renewal of American-Vietnamese relations. This collection of primary sources also tells the story of America's coming of age in the "war at home" as well as the war overseas. The growth of the antiwar movement--from mass demonstrations to the campaigns of Robert Kennedy and Eugene McCarthy--is treated alongside the formative role of the media in covering the war and the eventual return of Vietnam veterans to a war-torn America.
