LIFE The Vietnam Wars: 50 Years Ago--Two Countries Torn Apart

This was a well written book. It gives background I don't remember reading before. I will never stop regretting so many of our military were killed and/or maimed. What did the world learn from this - NOTHING.

The editors have selected a superb collection of photographs commemorating all facets of what they correctly term the Vietnam wars. The photographs evoke the turmoil and pain that was Vietnam. There is also a brief text which includes some disputable facts and conclusions. Of necessity, in a brief work, it also includes judgements without important qualifications. Nevertheless, the text is for the most part accurate and perceptive. This book is a fine means for remembering the times for those lived through them and a good introduction for those who have not.

well-written; photos are high quality

There isn't a whole lot of information in this book it is not really a history book but it definitely is a picture book. It is definitely good for beginners it will walk you through the basics of the war. I especially liked the fact it has a section in the end talking with modern ppl on the war and how it impacted the military today. Pictures a plus charts a plus makes a great coffee table book.

Was looking for more pictures of combat units and Medevac extractions.

I was too young to really absorb the depth of the Vietnam War.This book does a pretty good job of giving some nuance and vibe/feel to it besides just written words and accounts.Also, it was great for my kid's history class.

Terriffic! I found 3 ops I had involvement with and it sent shivers up my spine. There were others too but at different dates, same activity. I found myself ultimately in Laos following a downing of an H-34 with no survivors. Bird crashed in Thailand but that is the primordial soup from which novels arise.

Fast shipping, as advertised, good product at a great price.

Superb book

An interesting and sad time in history.

beautifully presented and written

Great Photos,
