A very good book, although one in which the TEXT, rather than the IMAGES, is dominant. The insights provided are fresh and at times compelling. The text offers a comprehensive, detailed and chronologically segmented account of the Vietnam conflict from its inception during the late 40's up to and including the fall of Saigon , 30 years later (April 1975). Although the text is adequate and informative, the imagery and print quality of same sometimes leave a lot to be desired. All of the images taken in Vietnam were taken using Film cameras -- and sometimes this can lead to problems for contemporary (i.e digital) technology when it comes to printing film photos in high definition. A number of the colour images in this book are marred by poor print quality, and quite a number of them have rudimentary captions to them which do little beyond frustrate because better information was not provided. A disproportionately high number of the photos are black and white, and page after page of monochrome imagery can become visually monotonous. I would recommend this book for its TEXT, but NOT for the quality of its imagery. There is a very long and detailed bibliography at the back of the book, together with the listing of photographers whose work is used to illustrate the book. For those wanting to buy the book, it might be more appropriate to view it first before buying, so that you are sure that what you purchase is what you wanted.Read full review

They had $30,000,000 to make the TV series and the book. They got a little too cozy with the military establishment. And they don't show a lot of respect for Martin Luther King or Br. Benjamin Spock or other people who had the courage to stand up to their government and protest the Vietnam War.

I also viewed the TV series. I didn't feel that the book got into enough technical detail which was a shame. I had also see a majority of the photos in other publications. Book is well p[resented however AAA+++
