- Summary
- The history of the Vietnam war is complex. Partridge explores the war from eight different perspectives: six American soldiers, one American military nurse, and one Vietnamese refugee. Each individual reveals a difference facet of the war and moves us forward in time. Partridge also profiles key American leaders and events, to remind us of all that was happening at home; and highlights veteran's struggles to acclimate to life after Vietnam. -- adapted from jacket
