It was one of the most traumatic military conflicts America has ever been involved in – and provoked a backlash of anti-war protests at home.

Here are the key events leading up to the Vietnam War, the deadly guerrilla warfare of the Viet Cong, the domestic anti-war movement and the fall of Saigon. THE VIETNAM WAR: HISTORY IN AN HOUR is essential reading for anyone interested in post-war history.

Know your stuff: read about the Vietnam War in just one hour.

Ratings and reviews

I absolutely love these History In an Hour books. Straight to the facts, little to no political lean.

The book ends abruptly with no ending. I want my money back.

Of the history in an hour series. Other ones were much more interesting
