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

5.0

The pictures are amazing, many iconic. The stories are gut-wrenching. I appreciate the diversity of perspectives - soldiers, a civilian, a nurse, a medic, and Maya Lin. White, African-American, Asian-American, and Vietnamese stories are included. Both men and women. A chronology is maintained by inserting information about the presidents and state-side events. This book will appeal to a wide audience. “What became of the men and women interviewed…” provides an emotionally-satisfying conclusion.
