Voices from Vietnam: Eye-witness Accounts of the War, 1954-1975

The Vietnam war is the most significant conflict in recent history accounting for the deaths of more than 58,000 Americans, hundreds of Australian, New Zealand, South Korean and other allied forces, and over a million Vietnamese, both troops and civilians. Although 30 years have passed since its conclusion it still provokes intense emotional reactions among combatants and observers alike.

This is a stunning collection of absorbing and evocative eye-witness accounts of the war in Southeast Asia, America's domestic protests against it and the costs of the conflict to those who survived it.

From the Vietcong's guerrilla war, the Tet Offensive, the Easter Offensive and Christmas Bombing to the dramatic reactions of the public to the unsettling media coverage of war, this book provides a unique insight into one of the most socially and politically divisive wars of recent times. Voices from Vietnam is a rare opportunity to understand the conflict through the experiences of those involved.
