This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
The Vietnam War was the crucible of the Cold War era-a conflict that humbled two Western powers, divided a generation, and reshaped global politics. What began as a colonial struggle against France evolved into America's longest and most controversial war, fought in the jungles of Southeast Asia and in the streets of U.S. cities. From the Gulf of Tonkin to the Tet Offensive, from helicopter assaults to student protests, this was a war waged on both the battlefield and the home front, leaving scars that still resonate today.
In A Brief History of the Vietnam War, the complex story is told with clarity and balance-tracing the roots of the conflict, the brutal escalation, the political fallout, and the desperate final days in Saigon. Alongside the military campaigns are the human costs: soldiers' struggles, Vietnamese resilience, and a generation's crisis of faith. Essential for anyone seeking to understand the Cold War, U.S. foreign policy, or the lasting legacy of America's most traumatic conflict, this is the definitive guide to a war that changed the course of the twentieth century.
