Boots on the Ground: America's War in Vietnam by Elizabeth Partridge

5.0

This is an extraordinary book. Chapters based on personal interviews by the author alternate with chapters on American policy, all in chronological order. The reader can understand what the president was thinking & planning and then read a chapter and see just how his decisions affected a specific man or woman serving in Vietnam. The variety of experiences represented range from the beginning of the war to the end and after.
