The Vietnam War: How the United States Became Involved
Mitch Yamasaki
Brief Description: Through a collection of original source documents and the words of those who lived through it, The Vietnam War gives insight into the historic background and events leading to American involvement and escalation of the war. Professor Mitch Yamasaki examines the major interpretations of how and why the U. S. became involved, what it hoped to accomplish, and how a poorly armed guerilla army thwarted U. S. efforts. Carefully selected materials highlight the forces that led to President Johnson's dilemma, the country's deep divisions over the war, and the ongoing reexamination of the Vietnam War. Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 71).
